Points and miles, week of June 22
Chase cuts Hyatt transfers for mid-tier cardholders, but multiple airline bonuses expire soon. A rare Singapore First Class award appears in November.
Chase is tightening its grip on World of Hyatt transfers this week, while three transfer bonuses expire in just eight days. A premium First Class deal on Singapore KrisFlyer rounds out the week.
Devaluations this week
Chase Ultimate Rewards is cutting the transfer ratio to World of Hyatt from 1:1 to 4:3 on two mid-tier cards. The change hits Sapphire Preferred immediately on June 15, 2026, and Ink Business Preferred on October 1, 2026. This means you will need 33% more points to fund the same Hyatt transfers on these cards going forward. Premium Sapphire Reserve and Reserve for Business cardholders keep their 1:1 ratio intact. See the full details.
Transfer bonuses
Three valuable bonuses expire June 30, so act quickly if these programs appeal to you.
Chase Ultimate Rewards to Marriott Bonvoy is offering a 55% bonus through June 30. This boosts transfers to 1.55:1, making it a strong window if you are targeting a specific Marriott redemption. Check current availability.
