What are the Chase Sapphire hotel partners?

There are 3 Chase Sapphire hotel partners: World of Hyatt, Marriott Bonvoy, and IHG Rewards Club. You can transfer points to these programs at a 1:1 rate. More specifically, you could swap 10,000 Chase Sapphire points for 10,000 World of Hyatt, Marriott Rewards, or IHG Rewards Club points. Note that you can transfer your points to hotel partners with both the Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card and the Chase Sapphire Reserve® card. 

What you should know before transferring your points: 

Whether you’re sacrificing value in the process is another story, since 10,000 Sapphire points will get you $125 in travel booked through the Chase Ultimate Rewards portal with the Chase Sapphire Preferred card and $150 with the Chase Sapphire Reserve card. So, your points are worth as much as 1.25 - 1.5 cents respectively, if you don’t transfer them. If you do transfer them, it depends on the hotel partner’s policies.

But there’s a convenience factor in play, too. The Chase Sapphire hotel partners are three of the biggest names in hospitality. So, if you travel a lot, there’s a good chance you have rewards with one of them. And pooling your earnings can be an effective way to save if you’re planning to stay at one of these hotel chains in the future. But before you can save, you need to know how the transfer process works.

Transferring points to Chase Sapphire hotel partners:

• You can only transfer rewards in 1,000-point increments.
• All transfers are final (no refunds).
• You cannot transfer points from a hotel partner to Chase Sapphire. It’s a one-way street.

It’s worth noting that in a sense, any major hotel chain can be considered a Chase Sapphire hotel partner. After all, you can book reservations at any of them with points through the Ultimate Rewards travel portal.

So, don’t get too caught up in the official partners, unless you already participate in one of their loyalty programs. Chase Sapphire Preferred and Chase Sapphire Reserve points offer more flexibility than you might think.
