Hyatt points are valued at 1.55 cents each as of June 2026 per TPG's valuations, making them one of the most valuable hotel loyalty currencies.

What to consider

Transfers cannot be reversed once completed.

You typically get the most value from Chase Ultimate Rewards points when you transfer them to one of the program’s airline or hotel loyalty program partners.
If you have one of the following Chase cards, you can transfer points from your Ultimate Rewards account to select airline and hotel loyalty programs, including World of Hyatt:
However, as you'll learn in the next section, some cardholders can transfer Chase points to Hyatt at a 1:1 ratio, while other cardholders can only transfer at a 4:3 ratio.

If you have other Ultimate Rewards cards that earn cash-back rewards, such as the Chase Freedom Unlimited® (see ) or the Chase Freedom Flex® (see ), you can transfer rewards from these cards to a card account that earns Ultimate Rewards points. Then, you could transfer all the rewards — including those originally earned via cash-back Ultimate Rewards cards — to transfer partners such as World of Hyatt.
But, until Oct. 1, it's a bit more nuanced for Chase Sapphire Preferred and Ink Business Preferred cardholders. Specifically, those who applied for a Chase Sapphire Preferred Card on or after June 15 will already see the reduced 4:3 Chase-to-Hyatt transfer ratio. However, other Chase Sapphire Preferred Card holders and all Ink Business Preferred cardholders can transfer Chase points to Hyatt at a 1:1 rate through Sept. 30.

A transfer bonus could theoretically boost the transfer ratio, though we’ve yet to see one from Chase Ultimate Rewards to World of Hyatt and are unlikely to see one due to the high value of Hyatt points.
World of Hyatt is one of, if not the, most valuable Chase transfer partners. Based on TPG's June 2026 valuations, Hyatt points are worth 1.55 cents each while Chase Ultimate Rewards points are worth 2.05 cents each.
Our valuation of Hyatt points reflects what you can expect to receive when redeeming Hyatt points for hotel stays.
A step-by-step look at how to transfer Chase points to Hyatt
If you find award availability for a hotel you want to book via World of Hyatt and decide that transferring Chase points to Hyatt is your best option, here’s how to proceed. The screenshots in this article are from my Chase Sapphire Preferred account, which I opened before June 15.
Select "Travel" in the top navigation bar, then choose “Transfer points to partners.”
CHASE
Scroll down the page that loads until you see the hotels section. Click on the tile for Hyatt, read the information on the page that loads and then click “Transfer points.”
CHASE
Enter the number of Chase points to transfer to Hyatt, then select “Next.”
CHASE
If you’re in an account with an authorized user, you may need to select the user to whom you want to transfer points. Once you do so, enter or confirm the World of Hyatt account number associated with that user and click “Next.”
CHASE
Confirm the transfer details on the final page, and submit your transfer request.
CHASE
It's as simple as that. Just remember that transfers from Chase Ultimate Rewards to World of Hyatt are irreversible, so be sure you want to make the transfer before doing so.
How long does it take to transfer Chase points to Hyatt?
Chase notes that Hyatt points should appear in your account by the next business day, but it may take up to seven business days. In practice, points I transfer from Chase to Hyatt usually appear in my Hyatt account almost immediately.

You'll get an email from Chase once you submit a request to transfer Chase points to Hyatt and another once the transfer is complete. So, even if your transfer takes a bit longer than usual, know that you'll get an email once it's complete.
When should you transfer Chase points to Hyatt?
I transfer Chase points to Hyatt when I don’t have enough Hyatt points in my account to book a specific award stay and don’t want to buy Hyatt points. I always compare paid rates to award rates and redeem Hyatt points instead of booking a paid stay when the redemption rate is high enough.
However, there are two other aspects to consider before transferring Chase points to Hyatt.
Transfer to Hyatt versus booking through Chase Travel: Which is better?
You can transfer Chase points to Hyatt and then book an award stay through World of Hyatt. However, another way to redeem Ultimate Rewards points for a Hyatt stay is to book through the Chase Travel℠ portal and redeem them at checkout.

I generally avoid booking Hyatt stays through the Chase Travel portal, as these bookings usually won't earn me elite credits and benefits from World of Hyatt (only bookings through The Edit by Chase Travel let you earn hotel points and elite benefits). However, some travelers may want to compare the points cost of booking directly with Hyatt versus booking through the Chase Travel portal.
Other ways to earn Hyatt points (besides transfers)
Transferring Chase points to Hyatt isn’t the only way to earn Hyatt points. If you need to boost your Hyatt account balance quickly, you can also buy Hyatt points.
If you have more time to earn Hyatt points, you could also boost your account balance via stays or spending with a World of Hyatt card. Here’s a look at the welcome offers on two such cards:
World of Hyatt Credit Card (see ): Earn up to 60,000 points: 30,000 bonus points after spending $3,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening and up to 30,000 more bonus points by earning 2 bonus points total per $1 spent in the first six months from account opening on purchases that normally earn 1 point, on up to $15,000 spent.
World of Hyatt Business Credit Card (see ): Earn 70,000 bonus points after spending $7,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening.
So, while transferring Chase points to Hyatt is a great way to accrue Hyatt points, it’s not the only way.
Mistakes to avoid when transferring Chase points to Hyatt
It's difficult to make a mistake when transferring Chase points to Hyatt. But perhaps the best way to avoid a mistake is to ensure you're ready to convert your Chase Ultimate Rewards points into Hyatt points before confirming the transfer, as transfers are one-way and irreversible.

You'll also want to confirm award availability on your specific dates and double-check the total award cost of your stay before transferring Chase points to Hyatt. You should also check the paid rates and calculate your redemption rate to ensure you wouldn't be better off booking a paid stay and saving your points for a more valuable redemption.
Finally, it's a good idea to check how many points you already have in your Hyatt account before assuming you need to transfer the full award stay cost from Chase.
World of Hyatt is easily one of Chase Ultimate Rewards' best transfer partners. Not only can you expect to get 1.55 cents per Hyatt point when redeeming for stays, but it's also surprisingly easy to find award availability and book Hyatt stays. As such, Hyatt points are both valuable and easy to use.
Transferring Chase points to Hyatt is often a good way to get excellent value from your Ultimate Rewards points. However, keep in mind that every Chase point you transfer to Hyatt is a Chase point you can’t transfer to other Ultimate Rewards transfer partners. So, especially if you'd be transferring Chase points to Hyatt at a 4:3 ratio, you may be better off transferring at a 1:1 ratio to another Ultimate Rewards partner.
I recommend keeping your Ultimate Rewards points until you’re ready to book an award flight or night. Then, transfer your rewards once you find availability and determine the redemption rate is high enough to justify using your Ultimate Rewards points.
If you need more Chase points, consider taking advantage of one of the following welcome offers on Ultimate Rewards cards:
Chase Sapphire Preferred Card: Earn 75,000 bonus points after spending $5,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening.
Chase Sapphire Reserve: Earn 100,000 bonus points after spending $6,000 on purchases in the first three months from account opening.
Chase Sapphire Reserve for Business: Earn 200,000 bonus points after spending $30,000 on purchases in the first six months from account opening.
