Chase Offers are Back, This Time on the Hyatt Credit Card

Savings Beagle | April 18, 2018 | Everyday | No Comments

It was less than a month ago when we told you that Chase Offers were ending. Now, Chase Offers are back, this time on the Hyatt credit card.

Chase alluded to the possibility that Offers would return, I just didn’t think it would be so quickly.

No matter, any opportunity to save a little money is a good thing, and that’s exactly what you get with Chase Offers.

Chase Offers Then and Now

It was mid-November 2017 when we first wrote about Chase entering the Offers game.

It seemed Chase was following the lead of American Express and its Amex Offers.

Chase Offers were similar to Amex Offers in that they provided money saving opportunities at a variety of retailers and restaurants when the Chase Offer was activated and the credit card on which the Offer was activated was used to pay.

Only two Chase credit cards – the Marriott Rewards Premier and Slate – were part of the Offers program during its first incarnation.

Now Chase Offers are back for those who hold the Chase Hyatt credit card.

Set Up Your Chase Offers Account

Chase Hyatt cardholders can register/set up their account here.

You’ll be asked for your email address, then the Hyatt card number of the card you want to link and, finally, where you are located. The location information is likely so that Offers can be tailored to savings deals in your vicinity.

Once your Hyatt credit card is registered with Chase Offers, you’ll be able to see, activate, and utilize the various deals.

Chase Offers

All of the Offers currently listed – at least on my account – are for a specific dollar amount off when a spend threshold is met. The earlier Offers program mixed in some percent-off deals. We’ll see if this remains the case, or if Chase decided to go solely with a dollar amount statement credit.

A few of the current Offers include:

The Lowe’s Offer above
HelloFresh – $15 back on a purchase of $50 or more
StubHub – $10 back on a purchase of $100 or more
Boxed – $20 back on a purchase of $75 or more
Hulu with Live TV – $20 back on subscription activation

There are other Offers as well, some of which may be location specific, so you’ll want to check your specific account for the exact Offers available to you.

As mentioned before, the Chase Offers program is almost identical to American Express’ Amex Offers – add (activate) Offers that are of interest to you, use the card to which you added the Offers to pay, and receive an automatic statement credit in the amount advertised in the Offer.

One Difference

There’s one difference between the old Chase Offers program and the new Hyatt Offers program. It appears Chase has decided upon an end date before it rolled out the program.

In point 3 of the above image, it says, “Program ends on July 31, 2018.”

So, you have three and a half months to take advantage of the Offers program this go-around.

Interesting.

If I had to guess, Chase is using the Offers program to spur activity on credit cards that are often thought of as “sock drawer” cards. If you’re not familiar, “sock drawer” cards are credit cards Miles and Points hobbyists apply for to get the sign-up bonus and keep (pay the annual fee) for the benefits (in the case of the Hyatt and Marriott cards, annual free hotel nights), not using them for every day spend.

Doesn’t explain the Chase Slate credit card being part of the program initially, though.

However, I’m sure, Chase is also looking at how much interest there is in an Offers program in general. Will an Offers program motivate cardholders to use their cards even more? Which is where the Slate card might have come in.

Wrap Up

No matter Chase’s reasoning for tweaking the Offers program, the bottom line is if you hold a Chase Hyatt credit card, you can take advantage of money-saving Offers now through July 31, 2018.

It’s free to sign up, and only takes a few minutes to scan the Offers and activate them to your card, so why not grab this opportunity to save a few dollars on purchases you’ll be making anyway?
