Bilt Rewards announced a change to its transfer ratio for World of Hyatt points, which will shift from 1:1 to 4:3 effective January 1, 2027. This adjustment requires members to transfer 33% more Bilt points to obtain the same amount of Hyatt points. Unlike Chase, which maintains a 1:1 ratio for certain premium cardholders, Bilt’s new policy will apply to all members, including Palladium Card holders. This move follows a similar devaluation by Chase, which recently shifted its non-Reserve cardholders to a 4:3 ratio. Under the new policy, a transfer of 20,000 Bilt points will yield 15,000 Hyatt points. The current 1:1 ratio will remain in effect until December 31, 2026, leading to recommendations for travelers to complete transfers before the deadline to preserve value.
