Using Hyatt Points to top off an AAdvantage account
« on: January 17, 2014, 02:33:51 PM »
I am wanting to top off my AAdvantage account , and my wife's too. I was thinking about using IHG points at a 5:1 , but then discovered CHASE ultimate rewards transfer to Hyatt 1:1, then from Hyatt to AAdvantage at 2.5:1. With that said, my question is: Can i transfer my Hyatt points to my wife's AAdvantage account?

Thanks for any input.

yeah i have spg points, i guess i could use some of those but hate to use them below the 5k bonus threshold. Even so, that might be the 'least expensive' option after all. Although I get IHG points as a result of business travel most often so i lean towards burning some of those...
