Over the past two years, I’ve gotten an average of 3.69 cents per point redeeming Hyatt stays with Chase Ultimate Rewards transfers way above TPG’s 1.7-cent valuation. Hyatt’s category-based award chart is a game changer, letting me snag Category 1 rooms for as low as 3,500 points or lock in upgraded suites at reasonable rates.
I’ve had some incredible redemptions, like four nights at the Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa for 105,000 points and a three-night Calala Island stay worth over $12K. The transfers from Chase to Hyatt are instant, so I only move points when I’m ready to book.
Hyatt may have lost the SLH partnership, but between its award chart, room upgrade options, and high-value properties, it’s still my #1 Chase transfer partner by far. Anyone else treating their Chase points like “future Hyatt points”?
