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.

  • Resort fee at the hotel

3 nights over Christmas

u/IndigoTaco on r/ChaseSapphire, December 2025

  • Breakfast
  • $100 credit

Their take: An inexpensive way to use the Edit credit, with a great bar and good breakfasts, though the property credit was hard to spend at a hotel with few amenities beyond food and drink.

Details
Paid
$724.51 in total: 23,725 points valued at $474.50, plus $250.01 on the card to trigger the Edit credit
Room
A standard king booked for 2, used solo; they forgot to ask about an upgrade
Welcome
A box of macarons, plus a welcome letter describing the benefits
Breakfast
$35-$40 a day with tax and tip, on each of 3 mornings, and the food was great; the letter caps it at $30 per person, but the hotel seemed to apply $60 to the room
$100 credit
Used on drinks, lattes and appetizers, with everything charged to the room; about $95 was still left before checkout, so they spent it on snacks and a big tip, which the credit covered
At checkout
No extra daily amenity fees

Booking tips from cardholders

  • Searching Edit weekend prices in late October, they found Dec 18-20 here at $651 total. It was part of a longer list of options they pulled together for someone using their credit before year-end.

  • They had just booked this hotel through Chase Travel and found the booking qualified for both the Edit credit and the separate select-hotels credit.

    u/Magpie83 on r/sapphirereserve, October 2026 · Read the thread ↗

  • They booked a Labor Day weekend stay by paying $250 in cash to trigger the Edit credit and putting the rest on points at a 1.65x points boost. Splitting the payment that way is what makes the Edit worthwhile for them.

  • They booked a weekend for a football game and covered a $1000 stay with 28,000 points plus $500 in credits. They picked it partly because the hotel is an easy walk to the Superdome.

  • The hotel website showed lots of February availability, but Chase Travel had zero rooms. Trying a wide range of dates over the next 9 months, weekday stays included, they still found nothing bookable through Chase.
