LHW Leaders Club is a hotel program focused on independent luxury hotels. LHW points are typically worth about 8 cents each, and at the promotion's 4:1 transfer rate, each Citi TYP could potentially be worth about 2 cents, well above our usual conservative estimate for TYP.

However, LHW has far fewer hotels than Marriott, Hilton, and Hyatt, and award redemptions use dynamic pricing, so the value can vary significantly by property and date. This kind of transfer bonus is best for people who have already found a specific hotel, dates, and award availability; we do not recommend stockpiling points just because there is a 25% bonus. Confirm award availability and the number of points required before transferring, and make the reservation as soon as possible after the transfer.
