The higher the monetary value of a hotel point, the more lucrative it is to earn and use those points. Of course, point values can fluctuate based on how you use them — a single point can be worth 2 cents when redeemed on a night stay and just 0.5 cents when redeemed on merchandise, for example.
Credit card and airline rewards points tend to average around 1 to 1.5 cents apiece. Unfortunately, most hotel reward points come in at a lower value than this average. The most valuable hotel reward point as of October 2022 is World of Hyatt, clocking in at 2 cents apiece. The lowest: Radisson Rewards and Hilton Honors, both worth about 0.4 cents apiece.
Finder has calculated the average point value across rewards programs for your convenience. But if you’d like to identify the value of a point on a given redemption, you can divide the monetary cost of a night stay or purchase by the number of points the same night would require for redemption.
