Summary
The Points Guy reported that Bilt will change its transfer ratio to World of Hyatt from 1:1 to 4:3, effective January 1, 2027. This follows a similar shift by Chase Ultimate Rewards. The change means Bilt members will need 33% more points to get the same number of Hyatt points. The adjustment affects all Bilt members, including those with the Bilt Palladium Card. Chase Sapphire Reserve cardholders retain the 1:1 ratio. Hyatt is also expanding its credit card partnerships, with projected revenue growth from these programs.
Our Reading
The escape is carefully planned.
Bilt points will no longer convert at 1:1 to Hyatt. Members will need more points for the same stay. Chase maintains 1:1 for premium cards. Hyatt’s loyalty program is evolving. The future may bring new card opportunities.
Travel rewards are never as simple as they seem.
