Chase Ultimate Rewards points are one of the best credit card rewards currencies. That's not just my opinion; TPG's August 2025 valuations peg Chase Ultimate Rewards points as the most valuable credit card rewards currency.
You can book through the Chase Travel℠ portal and get decent value from your Chase points. But you can often get significantly more value with just a bit more effort. After all, it's simple to transfer Chase points to World of Hyatt, and even easier to redeem Hyatt points for hotel stays.
Yet, despite that simplicity, I've gotten 3.69 cents per point when redeeming Hyatt points over the last two years. In my eyes, this makes Hyatt one of the most valuable Chase transfer partners.
