How to use Hotel Point Search like a Pro

Booking hotels with points is one of the best ways to maximize rewards and save thousands of dollars on travel. But let’s be real—hunting for the best deals, figuring out award availability, and transferring points between programs can feel like a full-time job. Enter Daily Drop Pro, a tool designed to make the entire process seamless and stress-free. Today, let’s break down how to find and book incredible hotel redemptions—like a $2,000-per-night Parisian hotel for just 35,000 points—using Daily Drop Pro.

Step 1: Start Your Hotel Points Search

Once logged into Daily Drop Pro, the Hotel Points Search tool is located in the left-hand menu. Enter the destination, travel dates, and number of guests, then hit search to bring up available award bookings.

In seconds, hundreds of options will appear—because who has time to search multiple loyalty programs manually? To narrow things down, use the sort and filter menu to:

✔ Filter by hotel chain (Hyatt, Marriott, Hilton, etc.)
✔ Sort by transferable points from credit cards like Chase or Amex
✔ Search based on your actual points balance from your Daily Drop Pro wallet
✔ Filter by free night certificates to see where they can be redeemed

For example, searching for Hyatt Category 4 hotels will instantly show which properties can be booked with Hyatt free night certificates, helping maximize every reward.

Step 2: Sort by Best Redemption Value

With so many options, it’s all about getting the most value for points. Sorting by “Points Value” prioritizes hotels with the highest redemption rates, putting the best deals at the top.

For Paris, one of the top options is the Park Hyatt Paris-Vendôme, a five-star luxury hotel normally priced at nearly $2,000 per night—but available for just 35,000 Hyatt points.

At this point, Daily Drop Pro also displays:
✔ The cash price equivalent for easy comparison
✔ A list of transferable points options (e.g., Chase Ultimate Rewards)
✔ Current account balances to see if enough points are available

But before booking, one of the best hidden features comes into play…

Step 3: Check Award Availability

One of the biggest frustrations with hotel redemptions is phantom availability—when a hotel appears bookable with points but really isn’t.

With Daily Drop Pro’s Award Availability tool, it’s easy to:
✔ See a full points calendar to find available dates
✔ Spot blackout dates to avoid wasted searches
✔ Set up availability alerts for sold-out properties

In some cases, hotel websites will show award nights as available—only to reveal at checkout that they require cash + points instead of a full points redemption. Daily Drop Pro eliminates that headache before wasting time on another site.

Step 4: Transfer Points to Book Your Stay

If enough points are already in the account, simply hit “View Hotel” to book directly. But if a transfer is needed, Daily Drop Pro provides step-by-step transfer instructions from supported programs like:

✔ Chase Ultimate Rewards → Hyatt, Marriott, IHG
✔ Amex Membership Rewards → Hilton, Marriott
✔ Capital One Miles → Accor, Choice Hotels

For example, if Chase points need to be transferred to Hyatt:
1️⃣ Click “Transfer Points”
2️⃣ Select Chase Ultimate Rewards
3️⃣ Follow the direct link to Chase’s transfer portal
4️⃣ Enter the Hyatt loyalty account number
5️⃣ Complete the transfer in seconds

Daily Drop Pro even tracks active transfer bonuses, meaning if Chase is offering a 40% bonus to Hyatt, it will automatically adjust the transfer amount needed—saving points in the process.

Step 5: Book the Hotel and Enjoy the Savings

Once the points have transferred, return to Daily Drop Pro, click “View Hotel”, and follow the direct link to the booking page. Select the room type, confirm the details, and finalize the reservation without opening 20 different browser tabs.

The final result? A five-star hotel booked entirely with points, turning a $2,000 stay into a $0 out-of-pocket luxury getaway.
