How to Transfer Chase Points to Hyatt (Example)
Transferring Chase Ultimate Rewards points to travel partners is one of the most powerful travel hacking strategies available. Whether you're booking a hotel stay or a flight, knowing how to move points strategically can unlock huge value—especially with partners like World of Hyatt, United MileagePlus, and Air Canada Aeroplan.
In this guide, I’ll walk you through how I transferred Chase points to Hyatt to book a last-minute hotel stay, plus step-by-step instructions using the Chase mobile app.
Why Transfer Chase Points?
Chase Ultimate Rewards points can be transferred at a 1:1 ratio to over a dozen travel partners. This means 5,000 Chase points = 5,000 Hyatt points. Transferring points often gives you more value than redeeming through the Chase travel portal, especially for luxury hotels and premium flights.
Real-Life Example: Booking Hyatt Place Atlanta Airport
On our way home from a recent trip we needed a one-night stay near the Atlanta airport. I found rooms at Hyatt Place Atlanta Airport for just 5,000 points per night. I only had 900 Hyatt points, so I transferred Chase Ultimate Rewards to Hyatt to cover the stay.
