i think 1 key difference about the edit and fhr is you can do aspirational redemption with the edit, while it is less so with fhr. you can stack the $300 travel credit, IHG credit come 2026, and the edit credits, and then redeem the rest of the stay using point boost at 2cpm. isnt this a key reason why so many people are in the miles and points game?

savings dont have to be in absolute $ amount sometimes
