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.

Two weekend nights in West Shinjuku

u/Hopeful-Donut-3371 on r/ChaseSapphire, October 2026

  • Breakfast
  • No upgrade
  • $250 credit posted

Their take: A pleasant room and good service, but the walk to the station and the hard-to-spend credit wore on them, and they felt the price was too high. They suggest a weekday stay.

Details
Paid
$500 cash plus 66,000 points at 1.65x with Points Boost; the cash price would have been $1,594.57
Points
The $250 Select Hotel credit posted along with the $250 Edit credit
Upgrade
None; they got the room type they booked, on one of the lower floors, even with IHG status activated
Breakfast
Included, but the Washoku Japanese breakfast is only offered on weekdays, so a weekend stay misses it
$100 credit
Food and drink only (in-room massages excluded); with the bar shutting around 11 PM, they never used the full amount
At checkout
One breakfast that should have been included was charged to the room
Watch out
Weekend weddings take over the top 2 floors and crowd the bar and cafe; Shinjuku Station is about a 15-minute walk, or roughly $9 by Uber

Same-day rescue booking with a corner king upgrade

u/D00dmom on r/ChaseSapphire, May 2026

  • Breakfast
  • $100 credit
  • Upgraded

Their take: A panic booking that became a highlight, with staff who went above and beyond; they recommend it as a place where the Edit credits feel worth it.

Details
Booked
Booked the same day through the Chase portal, at 5:00am, after a sleepless night at another hotel
Paid
$1320.90 for 2 nights, less the $250 Edit credit, the $250 IHG credit and 19,000 points: $507 out of pocket (+$8.70 tax)
Check-in
Arrived at 6:30am; staff took their bags and offered free coffee, the room was promised for after 12:30, and they were in by 1:30 after about 15 minutes at the desk
Welcome
Cupcakes, brownies, gummies and chocolate toffee
Upgrade
Booked 2 full beds and got a king corner room, which the front desk called a small upgrade
Room
Huge for Tokyo, with a comfortable king bed, rain shower and automatic blackout blinds; fridge, coffee maker and ice free on request
$100 credit
Covered dinner and one drink each at the rooftop lounge
Breakfast
Included: a full 5-course set menu, and the food was pretty good
Late checkout
1pm was the latest offered, to them and to other guests who asked
Watch out
No shuttle; the walk to the station took them 10-12 minutes

First stay, around $600 a night

u/kevin111260 on r/sapphirereserve, May 2026

  • No upgrade
  • Late checkout

Their take: They were very disappointed, found it poor value for the price, and would only book it when traveling with pets.

Details
Paid
Around $600 a night with the Edit
Upgrade
None, and the rooms are very small
Late checkout
4pm, guaranteed, and they used it
Check-in
No early check-in, but bags sent ahead were waiting in the room

Only for the dining outlets, which they found hard to use when they'd rather eat out in Japan; there is no spa, though in-room massages are offered

3 nights for 45k points, with an upgrade

u/deevee7 on r/ChaseSapphire, October 2025

Their take: An incredible value in their view: fewer points a night than most Hyatts, with breakfast for two, the property credit and a room upgrade on top.

Details
Paid
45k points with points boost, about 15k a night, for 3 nights that would have cost $900 in cash

Booking tips from cardholders

  • They stacked the $250 Edit credit with the $250 IHG credit on this booking and, on top of that, received a reimbursement through Chase's price match guarantee.

    u/ResponsibleHabit3621 on r/sapphirereserve, September 2026 · Read the thread ↗

  • Pricing a Twin Essential room with a walk-in shower for June 27 to June 30, they found $1467 on Chase Travel against $1486.22 booking direct on the flexible member rate with breakfast. On that like-for-like basis they judged the Edit a good deal.

    u/tekjono on r/ChaseSapphire, January 2026 · Read the thread ↗

  • In April they found no Edit rates here for January 2027, although 2026 dates were still bookable. By late June the 2027 dates had opened, and they booked a 2027 stay with their 2026 credit, which posted right away because the booking was prepaid.

  • Booked through Chase for a stay a couple of days later, their 2 night stay came to $40 after all the credits.

    u/ninjawarrior4321 on r/ChaseSapphire, May 2026 · Read the thread ↗

  • For the exact same dates and room, Chase priced the hotel at $1065 against $850 booking direct at the cheapest rate. The gap shrank to about $100 against the fully refundable direct rate and about $150 against the standard rate without breakfast, and with Points Boost at only 1.65 they did not see much value in the Edit here.

    u/dartboi35 on r/ChaseSapphire, January 2026 · Read the thread ↗

  • They booked for $870 in cash, noting that the points boost at this hotel was only 1.65. They expected to pick up both the Edit and IHG credits as well as a $100 off $600 Chase offer.
