In this guide, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process of transferring your Chase points to Hyatt, why this is such a smart move, and how to stretch your points even further for your next adventure.

Step 1: Create Hyatt Account

2. Once you create your account, find your Membership Number. This will be the key to transferring points to the correct account

Step 2: Link Your Accounts

Before transferring, you need to connect your Chase Ultimate Rewards account with your World of Hyatt account:

1. Log into your Chase account and go to the Ultimate Rewards portal.
2. Select “Transfer to Travel Partners” under the redemption options.

3. Locate World of Hyatt and follow the prompts to link your loyalty account.

Important Tip: The name on each account has to match transferring between Chase and the transfer partner. 

Step 3: Choose the Number of Points to Transfer

1. Calculate the amount of Hyatt points needed for your full stay.
2. In the “Transfer to Travel Partners” section, select World of Hyatt.

3. Enter the number of points you want to transfer. Chase points transfer in 1,000-point increments. Transfer is 1:1.

• Tip: Transfers are final, so confirm Hyatt availability and pricing before completing the transfer.

Step 4: Confirm the Transfer

Luckily, Chase-to-Hyatt transfers are instant, so you can quickly book your stay as soon as the points hit your World of Hyatt account.

Step 5: Go ahead and Book through Hyatt!
