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.

Columbus Day weekend stay with a benefits letter

August stay where tax and service charges added up

u/Sweaty-Moment-3385 on r/ChaseSapphire, October 2026

  • Breakfast
  • $100 credit

Their take: The perks were there, but with tax and service charges left over and steep menu prices, the free breakfast and credit cost them real money to use.

Details
Breakfast
Free breakfast and the daily credit left tax and the mandatory service charges for them to pay
$100 credit
Because on-site prices are very high, using the property credit still meant paying a good amount on top
Watch out
They found the breakfast poor value for its price

Quick notes from other guests

  • Busy weekend, no upgrade. None; despite registering for IHG Platinum through the card, the front desk had no upgraded room on a busy weekend Holding status and an Edit booking did not get them a better room when the hotel was full. October 2026 · Source ↗
  • An upgrade and VIP treatment. They were upgraded A very good stay with an upgrade and VIP-style treatment throughout. It left them keen to keep the card, though other people's bad experiences gave them pause. October 2025 · Source ↗

Booking tips from cardholders

  • Looking at two nights in October, they found the price was still $865 even after taking off the Edit and IHG credits, which gave them pause despite the hotel looking amazing.
