Today, the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/news\/chase-ultimate-rewards\/hyatt-transfer-rate-devaluation\/\" rel=\"noopener\">new 4:3 transfer ratio to World of Hyatt for select Chase cardholders<\/a> &#8212; including the <a data-ccid=\"2061159\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/credit-cards\/chase-ultimate-rewards\/chase-sapphire-preferred\/\">Chase Sapphire Preferred<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Card<\/a> &#8212; took effect.<\/p>\n<p>Now, we just learned that Bilt is devaluing transfers to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/hotels\/world-of-hyatt\/\" rel=\"noopener\">World of Hyatt<\/a> from 1:1 to 4:3 effective<strong> January 1, 2027<\/strong>. Here's what to know.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Bilt_To_Devalue_Hyatt_Transfers_in_2027\">Bilt To Devalue Hyatt Transfers in 2027<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Bilt has historically been somewhat of a buffer among transferable point currencies. When seemingly every other program devalues a transfer ratio, Bilt holds strong.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, in 2025, American Express, Capital One, and Citi all devalued transfers to Emirates Skywards &#8212; while <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/news\/chase-ultimate-rewards\/emirates-partnership\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Chase removed Emirates as a partner entirely<\/a>. However, you can still transfer your Bilt Points to Emirates at a 1:1 ratio. Unfortunately, Bilt's determination to avoid devaluing transfer ratios appears to be crumbling.<\/p>\n<p>As you can see in the screenshot below, the World of Hyatt partner page on Bilt's website now displays the following message:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;The transfer ratio for World of Hyatt will change to 4:3 beginning January 1, 2027.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"attachment_280060\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-aspectratio=\"600\/433\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-280060 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Screenshot-2026-10-01-at-13.38.32.png\" alt=\"World of Hyatt transfer partner page on Bilt's website\" width=\"600\" height=\"433\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Screenshot-2026-10-01-at-13.38.32.png 1368w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Screenshot-2026-10-01-at-13.38.32-750x542.png 750w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Screenshot-2026-10-01-at-13.38.32-900x650.png 900w, https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Screenshot-2026-10-01-at-13.38.32-768x555.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><center><em>Screenshot of Bilt<\/em><\/enter><\/figure>\n<p>When Chase devalued transfers to Hyatt, it only impacted select cards.

We don't recommend transferring points speculatively. Thankfully, Bilt gave plenty of advance notice about this devaluation. You have the rest of the year to transfer points at a 1:1 ratio.<\/p>\n<p>If you've historically gotten excellent value from your Hyatt points and want to keep booking Hyatt stays, you could make the case for transferring as many Bilt points as you can to Hyatt at the end of December. However, programs are known to devalue \u2014 as evidenced by <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/news\/world-of-hyatt\/new-award-charts\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Hyatt's award chart overhaul<\/a> earlier this year \u2014 so you risk moving your points to Hyatt, only for Hyatt to increase award costs across the board a few months later. Plus, your points are then subject to <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/hotels\/world-of-hyatt\/do-hyatt-points-expire\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Hyatt's expiration policy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Other_Ways_To_Earn_Hyatt_Points\">Other Ways To Earn Hyatt Points<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In late 2025, <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/awardwallet.com\/news\/world-of-hyatt\/chase-partnership-expansion\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Chase and Hyatt teased that a new Hyatt card is on the way<\/a>. The year isn't over, so maybe we will find out that these devaluations have been paving the way for Hyatt to market a premium card for Hyatt loyalists to enjoy.
