World of Hyatt · program intro

What is World of Hyatt

The highest-value chain hotel program. Fixed award chart, transparent categories, and the best elite tier benefits.

Key points

Award chart by category (1-8) with fixed point pricing
Cat 1-4 hotels start at 5k-15k pts/night, incredible value
Cat 7 luxury (Park Hyatt) at 30k pts/night is the program's signature sweet spot
Globalist (60 nights/year) gets suite upgrades and free breakfast
Transfer 1:1 from Chase Ultimate Rewards

Our honest take

We value World of Hyatt points at 1.7¢, the highest of any chain hotel program. Every transferable bank-points balance should have a Hyatt redemption in mind.

Best use cases

Park Hyatt Tokyo/Maldives, Andaz Maui at Wailea, any Hyatt category 4 in a high-cash-rate city.
