A credit can’t cover more than the stay costs, so two nights here use $496 of the $500. Three nights, about $744, would use all of it, and you’d pay about $244.

The Edit $250 and the 2026 select-hotel $250 both apply to one prepaid Chase Travel stay of two nights or more. The select-hotel credit ends December 31, 2026. It goes by the booking date, so book by then and the stay itself can be later. Check the terms in your account.

Check the rate first

Chase Travel often charges more than the hotel’s own site, so compare before you book. If you find it cheaper within 24 hours of booking, ask Chase for a price match: it has to beat their price by more than $5 a night, for the same room and refund terms.

3 nights, mostly covered by two credits

u/roblub on r/ChaseSapphire, April 2026

Their take: The credits made it a bargain, which is why they chose it; at a higher price they would have stayed somewhere more central.

Between the Edit credit and the IHG credit they essentially paid for just 1 of their 3 nights, using 2x Points Boost for it

They were told clearly at check-in that tips are not included in the credit
