Chase is out with some possibly targeted spending offers for Q2 2021 on their co-branded cards, including from Hyatt, United, Marriott, IHG, Disney, AARP, and more. I couldn’t seem to get any of my Chase cards registered successfully, but we have seen similar issues with registration the past few times and I’ve been able to eventually register my cards (and registration is retroactive for the quarter so long as you do it by June 30th), so I’ll just keep trying every week or so until it works. Note that this time there are multiple links for various co-brands. In some cases, the fine print notes which card(s) are eligible through that particular link and each card is capped at $1500 in spend for the quarter. I imagine that each cardholder will be targeted for one offer, though in some cases the wording is vague.

The Deal

Key Details

  • Capped at $1500 in spend per registered card during the bonus period (April 1 – June 30, 2021)
  • Registration required by June 30, 2021
  • Precise terms vary a bit – see the fine print at the bottom of each landing page

Example Terms

Here is the fine print found at the bottom of the registration page for the Hyatt 5X everywhere offer:

*To be eligible for this bonus offer, you must activate by 06/30/2021 11:59 p.m. E.T. You will earn 5 Bonus Points total for each $1 spent on up to $1,500 in total combined purchases from 04/01/2021 to 06/30/2021. Total Bonus Points shown are the maximum you will earn on those purchases during the promotion, regardless of what you already earn on those purchases in your rewards program. For more information about Chase rewards categories, see chase.com/RewardsCategoryFAQs. Purchases posted to your account with a transaction date during the offer period are eligible for this offer. Delays by the merchant, such as shipping, could extend the transaction date beyond the offer period. Please allow up to 8 weeks after qualifying purchases post to your account for Bonus Points to post to your account. (“Purchases” do not include balance transfers, cash advances, travelers checks, foreign currency, money orders, wire transfers or similar cash-like transactions, lottery tickets, casino gaming chips, race track wagers or similar betting transactions, any checks that access your account, interest, unauthorized or fraudulent charges, and fees of any kind, including an annual fee, if applicable.) To qualify for this bonus offer, account must be open and not in default at the time of fulfillment. This bonus offer is non-transferable. Eligible credit cards: World of Hyatt Credit Card.

Quick Thoughts

It’s certainly worth registering here, particularly for the 5x-everywhere offers. While those with a Chase Ink Cash card will argue that you can just buy Visa Gift Cards at an office supply store to effectively get 5 Ultimate Rewards points per dollar spent everywhere, that isn’t always convenient. If you need to make a purchase that is larger than $200 and/or want other types of credit card protections, these bonuses can certainly be decent depending on how you value the points.

I can’t seem to find links for the Southwest cards, but I imagine those links will show up soon enough.

As noted at the top, don’t be surprised if registration is glitchy at the moment. It is possible that these offers are targeted, though based on the past couple of rounds of these offers I think it is more likely that Chase has simply built very glitchy registration systems. The good news is that registration is retroactive. Just the other day, I made a purchase on a card that should have earned a bonus this quarter but when I didn’t receive bonus points I realized I had forgotten to register. I then registered and by the next day my 5x points were showing up on the transaction in my Chase account online.

Overall, these are particularly good offers given that in some cases they are good anywhere. I’ll certainly be looking to get my cards registered in the coming weeks.

Is there a way to know which offer or card one has already signed up for ? It is impossible to keep track of it.

Greg The Frequent Miler

I wrote mine on the back with a sharpy. If you need to verify, you can try to register again and it should say that you’re already registered

Pam

None of my cards qualified for “Everywhere” spend but instead only “Restaurants & Grocery Stores,” in-lime with my spending anyway!

There seems to be an issue in getting these bonus points posted to one’s Marriott account for Chase The Ritz Carlton Card $1,500 – 5X spend offer. Though the bonus points showed in my monthly statement, they never posted to Marriott (though the other points in the statement have already been posted to the Marriott account).

T. Jones

Just thought I’d submit a data point on this one.

Signed up for the 5X on my Chase Bonvoy Boundless. Put some spend on the card. Statement closed and Chase is showing the correct amount of points. The Marriott account, however, shows just the 2X for standard non-bonused spend. So Chase sends 5X points, and Marriott records just 2X.

Called and confirmed with Chase, and the rep stated that the correct number of points was indeed sent to Marriott. Called Marriott. The Marriott rep couldn’t tell what happened to the rest of the points, and didn’t seem to know about this promotion.

If you want to take advantage of this promotion, keep a close eye on the points you’re due.

Alicia

Had a similar issue that I just posted about yesterday (below). I think the issue is at Chase’s end. The 2X points come under, “+ Points earned on all other purchases” in your statement and are sent to Marriott and correctly posted in your account. My other bonus points such as “+ Bonus on purchases at grocery stores” were correctly sent to Marriott and posted as well.

The bonus 3X points for this offer are posted as, “+ Bonus on purchases” and it is only this bonus category that did not post to Marriott. Therefore, there is an issue at Chase where they are not sending this category info to Marriott (given all other bonus categories and normal spend is posting).

Going incognito worked for me on Hyatt and SW

Sam

No on the UA Explorer Card, apparently it’s targeted, but yes on WoH, Ritz, and IHG cards.

Dan

I was able to get 5X Marriott today. Couldn’t register in advance.

VIS

Does it matter which card you sign up first ? I happen to sign up for united first and now offer does not work for Hyatt or freedom unlimited card. I really wanted Hyatt for road trips planned.

Larry K

Still nothing on P2’s Hyatt.

DSK

Yes on Hyatt, Marriott and Ritz. No on United (but had an offer from both Chase and United on the Explorer card during the first quarter).

JRG

Thanks. Checked on 1 April and got the 5x for my Explorer card.
