I haven’t seen those numbers reported anywhere else but I asked their PR team as I was afraid it would be more restrictive, although I don’t recall a prior limit outside of the once per 30 days policy (which wasn’t strictly enforced and I’m not sure it that is still going to be a rule. Full terms go up tomorrow.
My Take
While I can see some people not liking the 525,000 point each way limit, you had to know there would be a mechanism for controlling the potential sale of points. It’s always been an easy way to transfer Chase or Bilt points to Hyatt and then on to anyone else you wanted, so it still will be – but within limits.
