Definitely seems to be a reaction to Chase Sapphire Reserve's 2 x $250 annual The Edit credit. I do agree that $300 x 2 and needing to book 1 night vs 2 nights each time is definitely superior if this new $600 total annual credit for FHR is true. If they're going to refresh this credit and increase it from $200 annually to $300 x 2 annually it isn't going to be only for this year until end of 2025 - and if someone already used their $200 it may be very likely that Amex will allow the new $300 credit to be used in addition to that. I assume that it will be the benefit value going forward so in 2026 you'll be able to use the full $600 ($300 per 6 months).

I was just going to say the same. Do not see anything regarding this potential $300 x 2 FHR credit.
