No, American Express points don't transfer to Hyatt, as the luxury brand is not included in Amex's transfer partners. The Amex hotel partners are Hilton Honors, Marriott Bonvoy, and Radisson Rewards.

As of 2026, American Express Membership Rewards does NOT transfer directly to World of Hyatt. This is one of the most significant "blind spots" in the Amex ecosystem, as Hyatt is a primary partner of Chase Ultimate Rewards. If you have Amex points and want to stay at a Hyatt, your best option is to use the "Amex Travel" portal to book your stay, though this usually yields a lower value (around 1 cent per point) compared to a direct transfer. Alternatively, you could transfer Amex points to Marriott Bonvoy or Hilton Honors (which are direct partners), though Hyatt is generally considered to have a more lucrative award chart. For 2026, "Chase" remains the exclusive credit card partner for direct, 1:1 transfers to World of Hyatt. If you are a dedicated Hyatt loyalist, it is often more strategic to hold a Chase Sapphire or Ink card alongside your Amex cards to bridge this gap in your points-and-miles strategy.
