Big news for Chase Sapphire Reserve and Sapphire Reserve for Business cardholders! Starting in 2026, Chase is making some sweet enhancements to the "The Edit" hotel credit. Instead of having to use your two $250 credits in separate halves of the year, you can now use both $250 credits anytime throughout the year. This gives you way more flexibility to combine them for a single luxurious vacation or even book multiple rooms for friends and family traveling together.
But wait, there's more! For 2026 only, Chase is also throwing in a one-time $250 statement credit for prepaid hotel bookings of two nights or more through Chase Travel. The best part? You can earn points in the hotel loyalty programs on these stays! The hotel brands included in this offer are: IHG Hotels & Resorts, Montage Hotels & Resorts, Pendry Hotels & Resorts, Omni Hotels & Resorts, Virgin Hotels, Minor Hotels, and Pan Pacific Hotels and Resorts.
Why should you care? Well, these changes make the Sapphire Reserve even more valuable! What's more, you may be able to combine The Edit credit with the new one-time credit and your existing $300 travel credit on the same booking. That's a potential triple stack of savings! So, if you were on the fence about keeping your card, these new perks might just seal the deal. Time to start planning those hotel stays and maximizing your rewards!
Why This Matters for Your Strategy
News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.
As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
