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.

A champagne welcome on a free staycation

u/Pvm_Blaser on r/ChaseSapphire, March 2026

Their take: A staycation they felt cost them nothing, and the champagne welcome with their bags taken up for them is what won them over to the card.

Details
Paid
A local staycation they count as free, since their other card credits already cover the annual fee and the Edit credit is a bonus on top
Check-in
Champagne on arrival while a staff member carried their luggage to the room

Order anything for breakfast, no bill and no tip

u/PuzzlesUnlimited on r/ChaseSapphire, February 2026

  • Breakfast

Their take: Breakfast turned out more generous than expected, with no bill and no tipping, even if the staff seemed a little unsure of the process.

Details
Breakfast
They could order anything on the menu, no bill was presented and staff said not to leave a tip; they were seated in a lounge or bar area away from the main restaurant tables
Watch out
The hotel does not usually sell a breakfast-included rate, so staff seemed unsure how to handle it

A phenomenal stay in a former bank

u/nycreba on r/sapphirereserve, December 2025

Their take: Flawless hospitality, a fun speakeasy bar in the old bank vault and great value with all the Edit benefits; they would choose it again and again.

Details
Room
A truly beautiful hotel that they found substantially nicer than the Dupont Circle Hotel
Watch out
The downtown location is sleepy at night and on weekends, but central to the Metro lines and easy to reach by Uber

A quick weekend in Washington late last year

u/PuzzlesUnlimited on r/ChaseSapphire, June 2025

  • Breakfast
  • Upgraded

Their take: The rate was higher than on other sites, but with the free breakfast, the upgrade and the other perks they felt it worked out as the better deal.

Details
Paid
Under $300 a night as they remember it, which was more than Booking.com or the hotel website charged
Upgrade
Moved to a better room than the one they booked when they checked in
Breakfast
The hotel doesn't normally include breakfast in its rates, so staff let them order whatever they liked, drinks included, without a bill
