How to Transfer Chase Points to World of Hyatt

The transfer at a glance

The blocks, timing, cards and name rule come from Chase's transfer page. The Sapphire Preferred ratio comes from Chase's Sapphire Preferred page. The Ink and Preferred dates come from Chase's June 15, 2026 release. Kudos says Chase doesn't charge a Hyatt transfer fee. Chase's own pages don't state one, according to Kudos. Chase's program agreement says a transfer fee may be charged, and that Chase shows any fee and its amount before you transfer (program agreement).

Your card decides the ratio

This is the one Chase partner where the card matters. Sapphire Preferred points transfer to World of Hyatt at 4:3, so 1,000 Chase points become 750 Hyatt points. Chase's June 15, 2026 release sets Ink Business Preferred to 4:3 on October 1, 2026, for existing cardmembers and for new cardmembers who apply on or after that day. Sapphire Preferred applicants on or after June 15, 2026 are 4:3 from account opening, and earlier Preferred accounts moved on October 1. The release lists those cards plus existing Ink Plus and Corporate Flex. It does not list Sapphire Reserve.

If your household holds both cards, you can combine points into the Reserve account first and transfer from there, per AwardWallet. That trade is worth checking before every Hyatt booking, because a 4:3 transfer costs a third more Chase points for the same night.

How to transfer, step by step

1. Find the award night on Hyatt first, at the price you want. Don't move points on spec.
2. Log in to Chase with a Sapphire Preferred, Sapphire Reserve or Ink Business Preferred card.
3. Open Ultimate Rewards and choose Transfer points to partners.
4. Pick World of Hyatt from the hotel list.
5. Add your World of Hyatt number the first time. The Hyatt account must be yours, or belong to one household member listed as an authorized user on your Chase account, and the names must match.
6. Enter the points, in blocks of 1,000, and confirm.
7. Book the stay as soon as the points show in your Hyatt account.

Is it worth moving Chase points to Hyatt?

Our values put a Chase point at 2.05 cents per point and a Hyatt point at 1.65 cents per point.

At 1:1 that's a loss on paper, so transfer only for a night that beats 2.05¢ per point. At 4:3 the bar is a third higher.

Hyatt still publishes an award chart. A fixed chart charges the same points whatever the cash rate, so a hotel that sells for a lot of cash on a busy date can cost the same points as a quiet one. That's where Hyatt points earn their value. More in the Hyatt points guide.

Where Hyatt points go furthest

Hyatt prices standard rooms by category and five tiers, Lowest through Top. These ranges are per night:

• Category 1 Hyatt hotels, standard room: 3,000 to 9,000 points per night, per Upgraded Points, World of Hyatt category changes (Apr 24, 2026).
• Category 8 Hyatt hotels, standard room: 35,000 to 75,000 points per night, per Upgraded Points, World of Hyatt category changes (Apr 24, 2026).

The top categories are where a fixed chart pays off most, because those hotels sell for the highest cash rates. Prices checked November 1, 2026.

A worked example

Say a Category 8 night prices at the Top tier, the high end of the range above. With a Sapphire Reserve you'd move 75,000 Chase points. With a Sapphire Preferred at 4:3 you'd move 100,000. At the Lowest tier the same night needs 35,000 or 47,000. Points move in blocks of 1,000, so 4:3 totals round up.

When not to transfer

• You haven't found the night yet. Points sit safer in Chase, where they can still go to 14 partners.
• You hold only a Preferred and the night costs more points than the cash rate is worth at 4:3.
• A household Reserve can do the same transfer at 1:1. Combine first.
• Bilt Rewards also transfers to Hyatt, at 1:1 today. If you hold Bilt points, compare the Bilt to Hyatt transfer.
