Now contrast to Amex Delta Biz Gold card which provides a $150 annual credit that I can for any property in any price rangel. Easy peasy and fully refundable. Even Amex Plat $200 credit is easier to use as there is a greater range of properties and some that only require 1 night stay.

Chase knows exactly what it is doing here and with the breakage and commissions probably shelling out very little on this "perk"

Nb: Have several fond memories from stays at The Lodge, used to go for $250 a night (off season) or a reasonable amount of points. Alas Napa (and I gather Sonoma) reportedly now have the highest hotel rates in the state.
