Is there any reason not to transfer them to my Hyatt plan now? Should the transfer option disappear, I'd be pretty bummed. And if companies do eliminate the option, do they do so without warning and giving us a chance?

I don't really care about burning miles for business airfare...while I've enjoyed myself up front, it really doesn't make that much difference to me. So transferring to airlines isn't a great option.

Thanks!
How soon would you expect to use 200K Hyatt points? At the moment, Hyatt points are far more valuable than IHG or Marriott points. But no one knows when (or if) there will be the next devaluation of the Hyatt program (or any other frequent-guest or frequent-flyer program).

While anything is possible, I would not expect Chase to end transfers to Hyatt overnight, with no notice whatsoever.
