World Cup 2026: Hyatt Points Near Match Venues

World of Hyatt's five-tier demand-based chart (effective May 20, 2026) means Cat 4 properties near World Cup venues will price at the Upper (22,500) or Top (25,000) tier on high-demand match dates, not a fixed 15,000. The full Cat 4 range is 12,000 (Lowest) to 25,000 (Top); only off-peak/low-demand dates book at 12,000-15,000. Properties like Aloft Dallas, Hyatt Regency Miami, and Andaz West Hollywood still beat non-Hyatt cash rates that spike 3-6x, but the new chart is demand-based, so treat points pricing as variable rather than a fixed hedge. Transfer 1:1 from Chase UR or Bilt. Book immediately point availability is not guaranteed near match dates.

How to book this redemption

Confirm award space before you transfer. Transfers are usually irreversible, and award costs here are published-pricing estimates.

  1. 1
    Confirm 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).
  2. 2
    Earn or transfer the points. If you don't already have 22,500 World of Hyatt points, transfer from a flexible bank-points card (e.g. Chase Sapphire Preferred, Chase Sapphire Reserve). Transfers usually complete within minutes.
  3. 3
    Book immediately after the transfer lands. Award seats can vanish between your transfer and your booking. Have the search results open when you transfer.
  4. 4
    Pay 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.
