What World of Hyatt Points Are Worth (September 2026)

Cash floor: 1.0¢ — No cash-out; value comes only from a room

Issuer travel portal: — · Transfer target: 2.0¢ · Peak: 3.5¢

Why we use 2.0¢

Hyatt still publishes an award chart, so a Category 1-4 room priced at 12,000 points against a $280 cash rate returns about 2.3¢ every time.

Where owners lose value

Award charts only pay off at the low categories. Burning Hyatt points on a top-tier resort with a cheap cash rate drops you under a cent.

Where the peak number comes from

• Category 1-4 nights at 3,500-15,000 points
• Suite upgrade awards on paid stays with status
• Free-night certificates at Category 1-4 properties
