Unable to transfer Hyatt points to British Airways

[Burrium]

Hi I have some Hyatt points that I would like to transfer to British Airways. However BA is no longer listed as an airline partner on the Hyatt website. This was news to the Hyatt help desk as they have been a partner airline in the past. Would appreciate any comments and/or advice.

They still are a partner airline on the website, but I see the same as you in the form that BA are not listed there. Qatar is there though so you could just transfer to BA via Qatar. But even for a small amount of Hyatt points I’m not sure why you/anyone would do this. Even at a 1:1 transfer rate it would be bad value as Hyatt points are worth far more than avios. With 5:2 transfer rate offered you’re losing a significant amount of value doing such a transfer.

Thanks Neil for your comments. As of today (15 October) I am still unable to make a direct transfer of my points to British Airways. Hopefully the website will be updated in the near future and I can then make the transfer.
