Chase-to-Hyatt Transfer Rate Changes Oct. 1
Some Chase cardholders can still move points at the current 1:1 rate before the deadline.
Chase points will become less valuable when moved to Hyatt for some cardholders on Oct. 1. The affected group includes people who opened the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card before June 15, along with Ink Business Preferred cardholders. Their conversion will shift from one Chase point for one Hyatt point to four Chase points for three Hyatt points.
That difference matters most for travelers with a realistic Hyatt plan. Someone seeking 60,000 Hyatt points would need 60,000 Chase points under the current setup, but 80,000 after the adjustment. Travelers who expect to use Hyatt within roughly the next year may want to move at least some points before the new rate begins.
A transfer is less compelling for people who have never used Hyatt and have no clear plans for the next 18 to 24 months. Chase points remain more flexible before transfer, including for Chase Travel bookings with Points Boost or movement to another partner.
