Bilt Loses 1:1 Hyatt Transfers

Yes, it's sadly true...

​Starting on January 1, Bilt transfers to Hyatt will now be reduced to a 4:3 ratio.

​This includes all 3 Bilt Cards: the Blue Card, the Obsidian Card, and even the Palladium Card.

​These Bilt Cards will join the Chase Sapphire Preferred® with 4:3 Hyatt transfer ratios - while the Chase Sapphire Reserve® will continue being the only personal credit card that still allows 1:1 Hyatt transfers (for now).

​Thankfully, at least we're getting a three months heads up before Bilt is officially making these changes.

​We rarely move points to programs without a specific redemption planned - but this may be one of those exceptions where we'd encourage speculative transfers from Bilt to Hyatt before January 1.

​We know that Bilt will get likely get more negative attention for this...

But with Chase already announcing 4:3 Hyatt transfers for the Sapphire Preferred months ago (now live as of October 1) - it's pretty clear that these changes are actually coming from Hyatt themselves.

Definitely disappointing to see this, but I guess Hyatt finally realized that point transfers from their credit card partners were a bit too good
