Why Hyatt is the best: Hyatt still uses a fixed category-based award chart (unlike Marriott and Hilton), which means predictable pricing. All-inclusive resorts (Hyatt Ziva/Zilara, Inclusive Collection) can yield 3-5+ cents per point.
World of Hyatt Award Chart (Fixed Categories)
Hyatt uses a fixed category-based chart with off-peak, standard, and peak pricing. This predictability is a key advantage over Marriott and Hilton.

★
The #1 Transfer Sweet Spot
Chase Ultimate Rewards points transfer to World of Hyatt at a 1:1 ratio. This is widely considered the single best use of Chase points because Hyatt points are worth 1.7-2.0 cents each, making your UR points worth far more than the standard 1.5 cpp through the Chase travel portal.

How Much Are World of Hyatt Points Worth?
World of Hyatt points are the most valuable hotel loyalty currency, averaging 1.7 to 2.0 cents per point. That is more than double the per-point value of Marriott Bonvoy (0.7-0.8 cpp) and roughly triple that of Hilton Honors (0.5-0.6 cpp). The primary reason is Hyatt's fixed category-based award chart, which provides predictable pricing rather than the fully dynamic models used by its competitors. Strategic redemptions at all-inclusive resorts or premium Park Hyatt properties can push the value to 3-5+ cents per point.
Best Ways to Use Hyatt Points
The absolute best Hyatt redemptions are at all-inclusive resorts -- Hyatt Ziva (family), Hyatt Zilara (adults-only), and the Inclusive Collection. Since meals, drinks, and activities are included in the nightly rate, the effective cash value per night is $500-$800+, yielding extraordinary per-point returns. Premium Park Hyatt properties in cities like Tokyo, Paris, and Sydney also regularly deliver 2.5-4 cpp.
Book all-inclusive resorts (Ziva, Zilara, Inclusive Collection) for 3-5+ cpp
Target Park Hyatt properties in major cities for 2.5-4 cpp
Use off-peak dates to save 10-25% on the fixed award chart

Chase Ultimate Rewards Transfer to Hyatt
Chase Ultimate Rewards points transfer to World of Hyatt at a 1:1 ratio, and this is widely considered the single best transfer partner in the entire Chase ecosystem. At an average 1.7 cpp, transferring to Hyatt yields significantly more value than the 1.5 cpp you get through the Chase Sapphire Reserve travel portal. Cards that earn Chase UR -- including the Sapphire Preferred, Sapphire Reserve, Ink Business Preferred, and Freedom Unlimited -- effectively become Hyatt-earning machines through this transfer pathway.
How to Earn Hyatt Points Faster
Base Hyatt members earn 5 points per dollar on qualifying hotel spend. The Chase World of Hyatt credit card adds another 4 points per dollar at Hyatt properties, bringing the total to 9 points per dollar before elite bonuses. Globalist members earn 6.5 base points per dollar, which combined with the card yields 10.5 points per dollar. Outside of Hyatt stays, transferring Chase UR points remains the most efficient way to build a large Hyatt balance quickly.
