Smart Travel: Upgrade Your Getaways · Wednesday, August 5, 2026
When transferring Chase Ultimate Rewards points, Southwest points are generally valued around 1.3 cents per point, making them a good option for flights. Hyatt is also mentioned as a good redemption option, especially for hotel stays.
“So, I think that the Southwest points are really valuable, but I would say that they are best used for flights. So, if you have Chase points, I would say transfer them to Southwest if you're looking for a good redemption.”
“Southwest points are generally valued around 1.3 cents per point. And that's usually on the higher end of redemptions.”
“I think that Chase points are most valuable when you use them for Chase's travel portal. But if you're trying to get value, maybe you want to transfer them to something like Hyatt or Southwest.”
“I think those are generally good redemptions. So, not necessarily airline partners, but hotel partners.”
