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.
Why this redemption is worth chasing
2.2¢ per point beats the 1¢ baseline you'd get from cash-back redemptions by a significant margin. The cash ticket runs around $500 for hotel class, a good return on 22,500 points. Worth doing when you have the miles and a flexible date.

How to book this redemption

- 2Earn 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.
- 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.
