For a prepaid Chase Travel stay of two nights or more. It uses one of your two $250 Edit credits for the year; this isn’t a double-credit hotel, so there’s no second $250.

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.

  • Upgraded
  • Late checkout
  • $250 credit posted

Their take: A relaxing, family-friendly getaway with a suite upgrade and most meals covered by the Edit perks, though service lacked polish in places and the cash rate would be hard to justify; they would come back with tempered expectations.

Details
Paid
$250 cash, refunded right away by the Edit credit, plus 50k points for 2 nights
Upgrade
From a basic room to a suite; a slightly bigger suite was offered for an extra charge
Welcome
A welcome drink plus a welcome amenity of drinks at the restaurant
Breakfast
Covered by the Edit benefits
$100 credit
Together with breakfast, the Edit perks covered a dinner
Late checkout
1pm
Room
The suite felt adequate and homey, with an upscale cabin feel; cribs, a loaner stroller and nightly s'mores kits for families
Watch out
The main pool was closed for resurfacing, so they drove to the family pool; front-desk texts were slow to get answers, and several pool towels had food stains

Booking tips from cardholders

  • Checking random dates in July, they found a stay priced at 77k points plus $250, with the cash part covered by the Edit credit. They see it as a useful alternative to booking with Hyatt points.

  • Their Chase booking for a midweek February stay states that all resort fees are included, which matters here because the resort's daily fee is $70. They were checking with past guests whether the hotel honors that, having heard of other Edit hotels that did not.
