Can I use Hyatt points for someone else?

World of Hyatt allows Globalist members to redeem their points for others who can take advantage of their elite perks, such as complimentary breakfast and potential room upgrades, even if the Globalist member is not staying with them.



Yes, the World of Hyatt program is one of the most flexible in 2026 when it comes to using points for others. There are two primary ways to do this: Gifting an Award or Transferring Points. You can book a "Free Night Award" or "Points + Cash" reservation directly in someone else's name by calling Hyatt customer service; the points will be deducted from your account, but the reservation will be in their name. A more advanced feature is the "Guest of Honor" benefit available to Globalist members, which allows them to book a stay for someone else using points and extend their elite benefits (like free breakfast and room upgrades) to that guest. Additionally, Hyatt allows any two members to combine points to reach a specific award level by filling out a "Point Combination" form. Unlike many other hotel chains, Hyatt does not charge a fee for transferring points between members, though you are typically limited to one such transaction every 30 days. This makes it a popular strategy for families or friends to pool their points for a single luxury redemption or to help a loved one enjoy a "free" vacation.
