same day 29th Oct. tracker shows i have $250 now. actually many more DP at uscardforum https://www.uscardforum.com/t/topic/408513/1

Meaning that you have the $250 available to use?

Sorry, I don't bother with these Chinese forums. Nevertheless, I believe you that they are now clawing back the Edit credits because it's so ripe for abuse if one does not rebook and it's an easy fix to stop the gravy train. Classic "Pigs get fat, hogs get slaughtered".

i would think so. Looking back, i think there maybe a timing issue if you rebook before they clawback the credit because at the time of the rebook, the $250 credit is already used. would suggest to wait for clawback before rebooking. or rebook before cancelling

Why would you only "think so"? It's either you have credit available to use or you don't. I haven't used mine yet on the personal card so my meter looks like this and it's clear that I still have $250 left to use.

Can you post a screenshot of your meter?

Also, if you both canceled and rebooked on 10/29 on what date did they claw back the original $250 credit? When was the original booking made and credit received?

Sorry for the many questions, but I think clarity is paramount and will be very useful in understanding what we need to do if there is a need to change a reservation.

the tracker looks exactly like yours. i simply said think so because i rebooked and havent gotten the credit after 4 days, more like a throwaway remark. like i said, i fully expect to get the credit, but i think the cancelling, rebooking and clawing back messes up chase's algorithm, and it doesnt automatically issue the credit the 2nd time. im gonna wait 7 business days and then contact chase if i still havent got the credit

fwiw, booked 10/28, credit posted 10/29, cancelled and rebooked 10/29, clawed back 10/30, credit yet to be given as of 11/2. i dont think it says much, except maybe dont cancel and rebook immediately, but i have also seen DP where the credit posted again. havent seen any DP of what happens if you rebooked before cancelling

I did this the other day…so will have a datapoint soon…booked, got credit, booked second hotel, cancelled first.

this would make me very nervous about cancelling next year though on a credit from this one. If it’s in writing somewhere great, otherwise too risky.

not sure how accurate is this (A Map for The Edit by Chase Travel - US Credit Card Guide), but can be a nifty tool

DP regarding cancel and rebook. I did a cancel and rebook in the early hours on Nov 2. Neither the new charge or the refund has actually posted to my account, nor has the $250 been clawed back in a transaction. However, my meter now shows 0/250 used so I'm expecting a clawback and I doubt it's going to re-apply properly.

Thankfully the hotel price is the same so I'm just going to cancel and rebook yet again. Hope the others above end up reporting that the credit will be re-applied properly if you rebook immediately but I wouldn't hold my breath.

But this would prove my point. That if you don’t rebook in the same period as the credit was initially issued you’ll lose that credit. This is very different from AMEX and a substantial negative.

Disregard

not really. might work if you booked before you cancel, no DP on that yet

It looks like MGM and Chase Travel may have fixed the issue with charging your Resort Fee at check in. Last month when I booked Cosmopolitan, the Resort Fee is included was not shown after you book. It was only showing under price details when you are booking. And when I was entering the MGM confirmation number on MGM site, it shows that I have a balance of the resort fee. This was even before I got there. When I got there to check in, they also said the room was paid but not the resort fee.

I just booked Bellagio last night and Resort Fee included is now clearly showing after you booked. And when I entered the MGM confirmation number on MGM site, it shows $0.00 balance. I think they finally got it right.

No…that’s wrong! If you book a second reservation, before you cancel in a different period, it will just use the new credit available. So that definitely won’t work!

this is all in theory since we are unclear atm what works and what doesnt. so assuming you booked and used the $250 for 2025, and then you realised you need to cancel that reservation in 2026. what you can try is to book the $500 reservations first and claim the $500 credit. then rebooked your 2025 reservation before canceling the old one. and if you need to cancel the $500 reservations, rebook before canceling. this assumes that rebooking before canceling avoids the clawback, but we have to wait and see

I should have been clearer in my post that I did make the new booking before I canceled the old one. So it was not a "cancel and rebook", it was a "book again then cancel original". It was clawed back. It posted today.

Maybe if you wait for the new purchase to post to the account before canceling the original it would work? I don't know. I am just hoping that this third booking, which was made after I saw the meter reset to 0/250, properly triggers the credit again. I will leave it to others to play it risky and figure out the exact behaviors.
