Do Hyatt points expire?
Yes. World of Hyatt points expire after 24 consecutive months of account inactivity. Any earning or redemption activity resets the clock on the whole balance, and holding a Hyatt credit card keeps the account active on its own. There is no fixed expiry date, only the inactivity window.
GuideDo IHG points expire?
Yes. IHG One Rewards points expire after 12 months with no account activity — the shortest window among the major hotel programs. Any earning or redemption resets it. IHG Elite members and IHG One Rewards Premier cardholders, who hold Platinum Elite, are exempt and keep their points regardless.
GuideDo Alaska miles expire?
No. Alaska dropped its 24-month inactivity rule in April 2023, and under the renamed Atmos Rewards program the terms state points have no expiration date and may remain in an account indefinitely. An idle Alaska balance is safe, so the only real risk to it is program devaluation.
GuideDo Chase points expire?
No. Chase Ultimate Rewards points do not expire while the card account they sit in stays open, and there is no inactivity clock. Closing the card forfeits them, so move them to another Ultimate Rewards card or redeem them before you close it; an account Chase closes for missed payments forfeits them too.
ToolNectar to Avios converter
Nectar and Avios convert in fixed blocks: 400 Nectar points become 250 Avios, and 250 Avios become 300 Nectar. The rate is not symmetrical, so converting back and forth loses value each time. The converter runs both directions in those set blocks and shows what any balance becomes.
GuideChase transfer partners
Chase Ultimate Rewards points transfer to 14 partners: ten airlines, including United, Southwest, British Airways, Air Canada Aeroplan and Flying Blue, and four hotel programs — IHG, Marriott, Wyndham and World of Hyatt. All are 1:1 except Hyatt, which is 4:3 from a Sapphire Preferred or Ink Business Preferred by 1 October 2026.
ToolWhat are Hyatt points worth?
A World of Hyatt point is typically worth about 1.5 cents — the most valuable hotel currency — so 50,000 points come to roughly $750. Published valuations run from 1.4 to 1.8 cents. Low-category hotels land nearer 1.2 cents and top-category stays at busy dates around 2 cents. The calculator converts any Hyatt balance into dollars, pounds and euros.
ToolWhat are IHG points worth?
An IHG One Rewards point is typically worth about 0.55 cents, between published valuations of 0.5 and 0.6 cents, so 100,000 points come to roughly $550. Budget brands and cheap dates land nearer 0.45 cents, and better hotels or the fourth night free around 0.65 cents. The calculator converts any IHG balance into dollars, pounds and euros.
ToolWhat are Alaska miles worth?
An Alaska Atmos Rewards point, formerly a Mileage Plan mile, is typically worth about 1.5 cents, so 50,000 points come to roughly $750. Domestic economy lands nearer 1.25 cents, and business class on Alaska's oneworld partners around 1.8 cents. The calculator converts any Alaska balance into dollars, pounds and euros at all three rates.
GuideDo Nectar points expire?
Not on a date, but you can still lose them. Nectar points carry no expiry date, yet Nectar may close an account with no points earned or spent for 12 months in a row — and the points are lost with it. Scanning your Nectar card or app at Sainsbury's, Argos or eBay once a year keeps the balance safe.
GuideHow to book Hyatt award nights

Book the free-night rate on hyatt.com; points stays carry no resort fee, and Chase points top up a balance at 1:1 or 4:3 depending on the card.
