“I booked a United ticket for my friend and now he owes me 80K points.  How long does a person to person Hyatt points transfer take?”

Great question, Vinh!

Let’s take a look at which card you should use to gain more Hyatt Points first.

With the Chase Sapphire Preferred card, you’ll earn 40K points on signup!  You would also earn 3X at restaurants on the First Friday of the month!

With the Chase Ink card, you can earn 50K points on signup and earn 2X at gas and 5X at office supply stores.  You can then transfer those points to Hyatt (almost instantly.)

Now if you get the Chase Hyatt card though, you’ll earn 2 free nights anywhere in the world on signup and a free annual night up to Cat4 every year you pay the annual fee.

Those 2 free nights on signup can get you a stay at the Park Hyatt Tokyo, which runs nearly $800 a night!  That’s saving big money with little travel!

Wait, did I mention 2X at gas stations?

You can also transfer those points to United to fly in First Class.  Ignore that photo though.  That’s Cathay Pacific First, which you can get if you sign up for the Citi AA card:

Oh wait, did I ever answer your question?  Were you asking about flights or hotels?

Are you still reading this at all?  Why did I write such a long post when I could have done it in 1 line?  What’s with all the weird photos?
