The $250 Edit credit

Cheapest two nights in the coming year: check in Mon, Aug 16, 2027 at $525 a night, about $800 after the $250 Edit credit.

Two nights at $548: $1,096
Edit credit: −$250
You pay about: $846

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.

What guests say about Kona Kai San Diego

One Edit stay here, as Sapphire Reserve cardholders described them on Reddit, summarized in our own words with a link to each post. We haven’t stayed here ourselves.

What to watch for

Parking is extra

Not a luxury feel inside

A marina-view upgrade and a credit that needed a dispute

Breakfast
$100 credit, in part
Better floor or view
Resort fee prepaid

Their take: A positive stay overall, with a marina-view upgrade and a good breakfast allowance, but the property credit turned into a hassle that only a dispute with Chase resolved.

Details

Upgrade: A second-floor room facing the marina, with a balcony
Welcome: A bag with sparkling wine and two chocolates, though it wasn't in the room and they had to collect it from the front desk
Breakfast: Up to $82 a day; a continental buffet plus coffee or juice comes to roughly that, and it didn't appear on the final bill
$100 credit: Spent in the gift shop and spa because the bars are closed on weekends; the front desk couldn't work out how to apply it and charged the wrong amount, and it was only credited after they disputed the charge with Chase a week later
Resort fee: Not charged
Parking: $46 a day and not covered by the hotel credit; there is a Tesla destination charger
Room: The interior doesn't have a luxury-resort feel

Booking tips from cardholders

They booked a stay costing $770.11 and paid for it with the Edit credit, 26k points and just 11 cents in cash.
u/petron5000 on r/ChaseSapphire, December 2025 · Read the thread ↗
Pricing a one-night stay, they found the Edit rate at $433 cash or 22,000 points with Points Boost, compared with $363 on Expedia using a member discount and $410 direct. Even though Chase had the highest cash price, they judged it the better deal once breakfast for two worth $50, the $100 credit and 8x points were counted.

Does Kona Kai San Diego qualify for the Chase double credit?
