Transferring World of Hyatt points to another member
A practical walkthrough for moving points between two people, and the questions worth answering before anyone transfers anything.
The short answer
World of Hyatt generally allows points to be moved between two member accounts on request. It is not instant, and Hyatt sets its own conditions on who can send, how much, and how often.
Step by step
Confirm both accounts qualify
Each side needs an active World of Hyatt account. Programs commonly require an account to have been open for a minimum period and to be in good standing before it can send or receive. Check the current requirement on Hyatt's own site before agreeing terms.
Agree the details in writing first
Exact points amount, who submits the request, the timing, and what you both do if the transfer is delayed or rejected. Keep this in your BuySellPoints conversation so there is a record.
Exchange only the details the form needs
A transfer request typically needs the receiving member's name and account number. That is all. Never share your Hyatt password, security answers, or a one-time code.
Submit the transfer request
Hyatt handles member-to-member transfers through a request rather than an instant in-app move. Follow the current process on Hyatt's site — do not use a third-party service offering to do it for you.
Wait for it to post, then close out
Processing takes time and is not always same-day. Confirm the points have posted to the receiving account before either side treats the exchange as complete.
Confirm with the program first
Loyalty programs change these rules without much notice, so treat anything you read here — or anywhere else — as a prompt to check the source rather than a guarantee.
- Minimum account age before an account can send or receive
- Any cap on how many points can move, per transfer or per year
- Whether a fee applies, and who pays it
- How long processing takes and how to check status
Red flags
- Anyone asking for your login, password, or a one-time code
- Pressure to move quickly or to continue off-platform
- A third party offering to run the transfer on your behalf
- Refusing to put the agreed sequence in writing
