Or what if I made two Edit reservations in 2025 and canceled the first one, would the credit automatically roll retroactively to the 2nd? I can't find a description of how all this works.
You can use the 2025 credit for a future stay in 2026. But the credit expires 12/31. So if you cancel you stay after 12/31, you lose the 2025 credit. It can’t be used for a new booking made after 12/31 since it already expired. If you cancel the reservation after 12/31, the credit is lost and not reassigned to another reservation even if made in 2025. From their standpoint, the 2025 credit was used and expired as soon as you cancelled the reservation in 2026. You can’t banked an expired credit or retroactively apply a credit that expired.
