my default strat for FHR has always been unload in vegas for many years. vegas is the mecca of all conferences and i spend months out there. hotel prices can be very low and FHR becomes a huge win.
so i was hoping EDIT to provide similar FHR value. not a headache benefit. but outside of vegas, credits like EDIT and FHR become laughable. properties in major cities like SFO JFK MIA are just crazy talk.
like u said, admin work is the least of our worries vs paying $500-$1k+/night.
also, the UA club card has a similar EDIT FHR benefit called Renowned Hotels and Resorts w/ $200 annual credits. but it runs on the chase platform w/ double resort fees, so i havent used it yet.
The Quest card has a $150 annual credit with Renowned Hotels and Resorts. From what i've been able to see, based on where i travel (Asia) it's the Edit Hotels except they're not called Edit here. Still has a list of benefits including $100 in house credit.
I looked at Vegas and wss stunned on the amount of fees and taxes!
