I’m going to be closing some AmEx Membership Rewards accounts and Chase Ultimate Rewards accounts (about 150,000 - 200,000 total points) and plan to transfer the points to a hotel partner program, no specific redemptions currently planned. Thus my question is the relative value, for redemption only, of each hotel program’s points compared to one another. In researching this I found the following on other threads here: (These quotes concern redemption values only, not earning potential.)

“1 SPG point = 1.2 Hyatt Points
1 SPG point = 2.0 Hilton Points
1 Hyatt point = 1.6 Hilton Points”

“PC and HH equal around a penny apiece. HY is around 2 cents.”

“-100,000 Hilton buys 2 to 4 nights, pointstretchers increase this to 3 to 6 nights.
-100,000 Hyatt buys 5 to 12 nights, no discount rates for points.
-100,000 Priority Club buys 3 to 6 nights, discount reward increase this to 6 to 12 nights.”

I certainly realize that a night in one hotel is not necessarily compararable to a night in another and that each program has more or less properties in different areas but I’m still wondering about other people’s thoughts along these lines. (FWIW, I think I would generally use these transferred points for “expensive” vacation type hotel stays rather than just a night at an airport hotel before or after a flight.)

Thanks.
