Register for Hyatt free night earning opportunity (and other Chase grocery offers)
/There’s a great opportunity right now for Chase World of Hyatt and legacy Hyatt cardholders, so I want to remind readers to register for both offers (and some other available Chase offers) before registration closes on one of them tomorrow.
The Chase Hyatt Double Feature
I guess these offers were sent out by e-mail, but if you’re like me, you trash most of the e-mails you get from banks sight unseen. Fortunately, you can still register for both even if you don’t have access to the e-mail’s one-click link:
Earn 3 World of Hyatt points per dollar spent at grocery stores, up to $1,500 per month, during each of November and December, 2020. Register here by December 31, 2020.
Receive a Category 1-4 free night award when you spend $4,000 on your card between October 27 and December 31, 2020. Register here by November 30, 2020.
The fact you can register for both of these offers means spending $4,000 on your Hyatt card at grocery stores is worth up to 25,000 points, or 6.25 points per dollar. Since your actions should be driven by your marginal benefit, the deal is even more enticing than that, since you’ll earn 3 points per dollar on your first $1,500 in grocery spend in each month, but a free night award worth up to 15,000 points for your last $1,000 — the equivalent of up to 15 points per dollar if you precisely meet the $4,000 spend threshold.
Don’t sleep on other Chase grocery offers
The legacy Hyatt card is the only co-branded card I have with Chase, but if you have others head over to Frequent Miler’s compilation of the registration links. Negative-cost grocery store manufactured spend is everywhere right now, so you may as well put the spend on cards that are bonusing at least some grocery store spend, especially if you can leverage the card’s other potential benefits.
The most obvious candidates are the Southwest card’s earning of 5 points per dollar, earning which counts towards next year’s companion pass, and Marriott’s Boundless card, which grants Gold elite status after spending $35,000 during the calendar year. If United is one of your frequent Ultimate Rewards transfer targets, then you should likewise treat earning 5 MileagePlus miles per dollar as the equivalent of 5 Ultimate Rewards points per dollar — a good earning rate on negative-cost manufactured spend!
