Hotel points vary enormously in value — World of Hyatt regularly outvalues Hilton by more than 3x per point. This tool ranks all 8 major US-relevant hotel programs by live published valuation, then estimates how many nights your specific balance could book at each.
World of Hyatt's smaller, fixed award chart and higher-end portfolio consistently deliver better per-point value than Marriott's dynamic pricing or Hilton's low-value-but-high-earning model — even though Hyatt has far fewer properties overall.
No — Marriott and Hilton have the largest portfolios but some of the lowest per-point values, since dynamic pricing and high point costs erode value even when redemption is easy.
Match the program to where you actually stay — the highest-value program is worthless if it has no hotels where you travel.
