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.

Booking tips from cardholders
They booked June 2-4 and paid $500.01 plus 45,250 points at a 1.65 value, which beat both the hotel site and Hotels.com for a refundable rate with breakfast. Both the Edit credit and the $250 hotel credit posted within 3 days, though the IHG app said the room rate would not earn points.
They booked three nights for late March 2026, covering the cost with the $300 travel credit, the $250 Edit credit and 15k points at 2x. The Edit price was about $80 more than on the IHG website, but they were happy with the use of points, and an upgrade would make it more than worthwhile.
The price on Chase rose when they added an infant to the search. When they emailed the hotel, it told them to simply reserve for two adults and then message the hotel to request a crib.
Show 2 more tips
Combining the card credits with a points boost, they booked an upcoming stay here for the equivalent of 19k points a night.
They booked two nights here at $438 a night. Their remaining $500 sign-up credit and the $250 Edit credit cut the $876 bill to $126, which they covered with 6300 points, a redemption of about 2 cents a point.
