The transfer ratio for Bilt Rewards members transferring points to World of Hyatt will change from 1:1 to 4:3 starting on January 1, 2027. This means that members will need to transfer 10,000 Bilt Points to receive 7,500 Hyatt points. This change follows a similar adjustment for Chase Sapphire Preferred® Cardholders. The devaluation of Bilt Points is significant, as World of Hyatt points are valued at 1.8 cents each, compared to other transfer partners like Atmos Rewards and Southwest Airlines points, which are worth 1.4 cents each.
Bilt members have until the end of the year to take advantage of the current 1:1 transfer ratio to World of Hyatt. This may be a good opportunity to save points on future Hyatt stays. Additionally, Bilt cardholders can earn more points by redeeming Bilt Cash for points on housing payments in the next two months.
It’s not just the transfer ratios that are changing – World of Hyatt has also increased the number of points needed for award bookings, especially on peak demand nights. This could result in higher award pricing for certain properties. The decision to stick with Bilt or switch to Chase in 2027 will depend on individual preferences and travel habits, as well as the value of each program’s benefits. sentence: “I cannot believe how quickly time is passing.”
