Best Ways to Use World of Hyatt Points
The award chart is the advantage
Unlike Marriott and Hilton, Hyatt keeps a published award chart, so a category 7 or 8 property costs a set number of points even when the cash rate spikes. That predictability is why Hyatt points are the most valuable hotel currency, routinely worth over 2 cents each. Peak and high-end properties are where the chart shines. See the World of Hyatt guide.
Feed it with Chase points
Hyatt is a 1:1 transfer partner of Chase Ultimate Rewards, which is the single best reason Chase points are so valuable (see best ways to use Chase points). All-inclusive Hyatt resorts (priced in points) and the fifth night free via points-and-cash options add even more value.
Maximize with status
Hyatt Globalist status (attainable via the card plus some nights) adds suite upgrades, free breakfast, and waived resort fees, raising the value of every redemption. Target high-category and all-inclusive stays, transfer Chase points only when you have a booking, and you will get the best hotel value in the hobby.
Stop guessing at point values. Look up the real award price and live availability for a specific trip before you transfer.
