I've spent a lot of time looking at Edit the last 2 days to see if I should give CSR a chance after my renewal date comes through. I thought I'd try to book something after Oct 26 before renewal date.
The reality is even if prices are similar on chase and booking direct, there simply aren't enough Edit choices in the cities I travel to regularly. And the ones that I do, I find a Hyatt etc that I already enjoy so there's no need to switch and not get upgrades to suites b
I couldn't find any in KL, Jeddah, Riyadh, Suzhou for the dates I'm interested in. They had some in BJ but I'd stay far cheaper at Hyatts I know (only 4 seasons seemed reasonable in price. The peninsula in bj is overpriced for what you get.
Bangkok has great choices with Siam and Capella, but I already have cheaper favorites there like HR or SGS.
I just don't see how I'd use Edit often enough since there are so few cities that offer a good choice. It seems to be great if you are always staying at ultra luxury and arent loyal to a chain.
If I was a free agent, I'd love this
