Points, EQN, and status are applied to the stays. Glad they now have the Edit hotels on their list. They didn't a few months ago. I would still screenshot your Edit booking's that show WOH eligible should there ever be a dispute about it.
The Edit rate is the same non-member rate you can get on Hyatt site. I am a Hyatt globalist and just booked at a PH after comparing the rates. Virtuous has the same rate. You have to call Hyatt to add the Edit booking to your account, but they have to manually look up your reservations. The Hyatt number in my reservation never get transferred from Chase (I had to redo this same booking several times and had to call Hyatt every time!). They were able to do that since a couple of weeks ago.
So as a globalist I don’t get the full value of the $250 between the higher non-member rate and my free breakfast.
In addition, if you rebook you have to wait for the cancellation transaction “posted” (not while still pending) to your credit card before rebooking to get the Edit credit (you don’t have to wait for the credit meter refresh which is usually one day behind). The Edit $250 credit is tied to your posted credit card transaction. I rebooked while the cancellation is still pending and the $250 was not credited to the new booking so I had to redo it and thankfully the rate actually dropped in the meantime.
