Because it is now rebooked in 2026, I imagine Chase will clawback the credit, since the booking you made in 2025 was canceled. Whereas AMEX doesn’t make you rebook to change a date.
With Amex you can only do a change of date to the same hotel, but if you want to go to another property you also need to cancel and rebook just like with Chase. For both Amex and Chase, they don't claw back your credit if you do that even if it's the next year or half year, if you do an immediate rebooking after you cancel.
