The $50 hotel credit has already posted to my account. However, I have heard that if the $50 credit is applied, then the charge is not eligible to earn 5X UR points. Is this a YMMV-type situation, or is it pretty set in stone? I would definitely give back the $50 if it meant earning 5X points as the balance that I charged to the card was nearly$2000. Thanks to anyone who knows!

It only takes ~3 days for the UR points to post. Go into your account and look at Rewards Activity & see if you received 5 UR for $$ spent. If you got less you could cancel & rebook the trip. The $50 credit is already earned, even if you cancel. Chase will not claw that back.
