Well, well, well—look who finally discovered the internet. As of October 15, 2026, World of Hyatt members can finally transfer points to each other online. No more downloading PDFs, chasing down signatures, or emailing paperwork into the void.

Previously, sharing Hyatt points required both members to complete and sign a point-combining form, email it to Hyatt, and wait for the transfer to be processed. Not exactly the seamless experience you’d expect in 2026.

Thankfully, Hyatt has finally upgraded the process. And the best part? Transferring points is still completely free.

 

How To Transfer World of Hyatt Points Online

The new transfer tool is available through Hyatt’s Purchase & Gift Points page.

Here’s how the process works:

 

1. Visit the page, select Gift Your Points, and sign in to your World of Hyatt account.

5. Review the details and submit your transfer.

Hyatt says points generally arrive within 24 hours, although some members are reporting nearly instant transfers. Transactions requiring additional review could take up to ten business days.

A Few Rules To Know

Of course, Hyatt isn’t letting members move unlimited points between accounts. There are a handful of restrictions worth knowing:

• Transfers are free, and points can be moved at a 1:1 ratio.
• The minimum transfer is 1,000 points, with additional increments of 500 points.
• Both accounts must be at least 60 days old and in good standing.
• Members can send and receive up to 525,000 points total each per calendar year.
• Members can make one transfer per calendar month, up to six transfers per calendar year.
• You don’t have to be related to the recipient or live at the same address to share points.

 

Bottom Line

We don’t celebrate a hotel loyalty program for eliminating a PDF every day, but here we are. But jokes aside, this is a welcome change. Instead of jumping through hoops and waiting weeks for a transfer to process, members can now handle everything online.
