Chase’s $500 Edit credit, and the extra $250 for 2026

Updated 2026-07-04 · 3 min read

The Sapphire Reserve carries two separate hotel credits right now, worth up to $750 combined in 2026: a $500 annual credit for stays booked through The Edit, Chase’s curated list of about 1,400 hotels, and a one-year $250 credit for stays with seven specific hotel brands. Both run through Chase Travel, both want prepaid bookings of at least two nights, and on the right hotel they stack.

Neither works like the credit did in 2025. Chase reworked the mechanics in January 2026, so most of what was written about the card last year is out of date.

The $500 Edit credit

You get up to $250 back on each of your first two qualifying Edit bookings in a calendar year. A qualifying booking is prepaid (the “Pay Now” rate), two nights or more, and paid with the card beyond the $250 the credit covers — a stay bought entirely with points won’t trigger it. The old January–June and July–December windows are gone; both credits can land in the same month if that’s how your trips fall.

The statement credit usually posts within a few days, though Chase’s terms give it a few weeks. One quiet catch: the $250 the credit covers earns no points.

Separate from the statement credit, Edit stays come with an on-property package the hotel applies: daily breakfast for two at most properties, a $100 property credit ($200 at the all-inclusive hotels), and a room upgrade with early check-in and late checkout when the hotel can manage it.

The 2026-only $250

On top of that, Chase is running a second credit through December 31, 2026: up to $250 back on a prepaid two-night stay with IHG, Montage, Pendry, Omni, Virgin Hotels, Minor Hotels (Anantara’s parent), or Pan Pacific, booked through Chase Travel. It’s a single credit, it doesn’t renew, and Chase hasn’t said anything about 2027.

The “$250 credit” tag on our Edit tab marks the hotels Chase flags for this credit, so you can filter straight to stays that qualify.

Stacking both on one booking

Some Edit hotels belong to one of the seven brands — a Pendry, an Anantara, a Regent. Prepay two nights at one of those and both credits hit the same reservation: up to $500 back before you count the breakfast and the property credit. If your $300 annual travel credit is still unspent, it applies to the same booking too.

Which cards get these credits?
The Sapphire Reserve, the Sapphire Reserve for Business, and the J.P. Morgan Reserve. Other Chase cards can book the same hotels through Chase Travel, just without the credits or the Edit package.
Do one-night stays qualify?
No. Both credits require prepaid stays of two nights or more, which is why Edit prices here are shown as two-night totals. Collections without a minimum — Amex FHR, Chase Renowned, Capital One Premier — are shown per night.
Can I pay with points?
Partly. The booking qualifies as long as more than $250 of it goes on the card. Cover the whole stay with points and no credit posts.
Is the $250 select-brands credit coming back in 2027?
Chase’s terms end it on December 31, 2026, and no renewal has been announced. The $500 Edit credit is the ongoing benefit.
