How to Transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards Points to Hyatt
Chase Ultimate Rewards points are some of the most valuable points you can earn across credit cards and travel systems. One of the reasons that Chase points are considered so valuable is that they can be transferred to a variety of high-value travel partners, including United, Southwest, and Emirates Air. However, many agree that, out of all the transfer partners, the most versatile and best-value transfer partner is Hyatt Hotels.
Hyatt is a worldwide hotel chain with an impressive variety of properties, including cheap no-frills airport stays to massive all-inclusive resorts. Unlike other hotel chains that price their point redemptions on a hotel-by-hotel basis, Hyatt has a set list of categories that they group hotels by (1-8 for hotels, A-F for all-inclusive resorts). Because of this categorization, it is FAR easier to get good deals using Hyatt points than using other hotel points. When you add in the World of Hyatt credit card (which comes with Discoverist status at Hyatt), you suddenly have a luxury experience for only $95 a year!
Using Hyatt points for your stays is an incredible way to stay at hotels for a fraction of the normal cost or no cost at all! Therefore, transferring Chase points to Hyatt and then booking directly with Hyatt is one of the easiest ways to get good value out of your points with minimal work and research.
Before we begin, It’s important to keep some things in mind when transferring points from Chase to Hyatt:
You can only transfer points from a Chase Ultimate Rewards-earning credit card.
The transfer ratio is 1:1, meaning that 1 Chase Ultimate Rewards point will equal 1 World of Hyatt point.
There is no fee to transfer points from Chase Ultimate Rewards to your World of Hyatt
In most circumstances, only one person can transfer to a specific Hyatt account (no sharing with family or friends)
Soon, you’ll be able to stay at amazing Hyatt properties like the Park Hyatt Maldives
With that out of the way, let’s jump into the guide on how to transfer Chase Ultimate Reward Points to your World of Hyatt account:
