Why this redemption is worth chasing
3¢ per point beats the 1¢ baseline you'd get from cash-back redemptions by a significant margin. The cash ticket runs around $600 for hotel class, a good return on 20,000 points. Worth doing when you have the miles and a flexible date.

Once your hotel is locked in, these are the three add-ons most travelers grab next, bookable in a couple minutes each.
How to book this redemption
Confirm award space before you transfer. Transfers are usually irreversible, and award costs here are published-pricing estimates.
- 1Confirm award space first. N/A award seats can disappear in minutes. Search for the specific dates you want directly on the World of Hyatt website (or use our sweet-spot library to compare programs side-by-side first).
- 2Earn or transfer the points. If you don't already have 20,000 World of Hyatt points, transfer from a flexible bank-points card (e.g. Chase Sapphire Preferred, Chase Sapphire Reserve). Transfers usually complete within minutes.
- 3Book immediately after the transfer lands. Award seats can vanish between your transfer and your booking. Have the search results open when you transfer.
- 4Pay any fuel surcharges or taxes. Most awards carry $50-$300 in cash fees on top of the miles. Check the estimate before you transfer, it should still be a fraction of the cash ticket.
