For anyone who missed the news, there were two recent changes this week to the CSR hotel benefits -
1. Starting in 2026, the $250 x 2 credits for The Edit can now be used anytime during the year; there is no longer a first/second half of the year restriction. For 2025, there's still just one $250 credit.
2. For 2026, there is an _additional_ $250 credit for certain hotels on the portal:
Starting January 1, 2026, get up to $250 in statement credits through December 31, 2026 on prepaid Chase Travel hotel bookings for stays with IHG® Hotels & Resorts, Montage Hotels & Resorts, Pendry Hotels & Resorts, Omni Hotels & Resorts, Virgin Hotels, Minor Hotels, and Pan Pacific Hotels and Resorts. Two night minimum required. Purchases that qualify will not earn points.
Both welcome changes IMO!
