Major Hyatt Changes, New Chase Transfer Partner and More

This has been a big news week in the miles and points world!

Ouch: World Of Hyatt Updates Award Chart, Costs Increase By Up To 67%: Starting in May, World of Hyatt award chart will now include 5 levels per category (instead of the previous 3). This means that during peak seasons, award prices will increase. I’m not a fan. See this post on One Mile at a Time.

Chase Adds Wyndham Rewards as a 1:1 Transfer Partner: Now you can transfer from both Capital One and Chase to Wyndham Rewards hotel program. See this post on View From the Wing.

Bilt Rent Day March 2026: Big transfer bonus to Japan Airlines from Bilt on March Rent Day! This could be great for travelers looking to snatch those Business Class award flights on JAL. However, miles expires after 36 months regardless of activity. See this post on Frequent Miler.

Resy Expansion: The Resy network will expand this summer, giving Amex Platinum cardholders even more places to use their quarterly credits. See this press release.
