Even with a 50% transfer bonus for MR to Hilton, Chase UR -> Hyatt is still probably a better value in many cases assuming there is a Hyatt where you are going, especially if you're not booking their top category hotels. I mean most Hyatt properties are 15k pts/nt or less, which is 1:1 with UR. Hilton's program is now mostly revenue based, but still maintains category caps, so unless you're in some high demand situation where the cash price is high yet there are still standard award rooms available, you're kinda stuck in the 0.5-0.7 cpp range. I've never transferred MR to Hilton and don't imagine why I would (much like xfering to Delta) but just my thoughts.
