They may have fixed the double pay, and you will find out next week when you check in. If they have not fixed it, the front desk will tell you that you will be charged $50 resort fee per day discounted from $55 because WIFI is included in EDIT stay. If they have fixed it then they should tell you the room and everything are prepaid.

All the older DPs said Bellagio will charge you the resort fee at check in and won't budge on waiving it, but there maybe newer ones that I have not read where they fixed it. I did book Bellagio and put in my MGM reservation number into MGM website to see the balance on the bill and it shows $0 balance so that looks promising. You can do the same as well just to check the MGM got your reservation (room type, date, balance, etc..). But I ended up cancelling that reservation because reading way too many DPs on reddit saying that Bellagio double charge resort fees. I switch to MGM Grand because ALL the DPs on MGM Grand EDIT stays say that Resort Fee is not charged. There are also a few saying that Aria now does not double charge resort fee if anyone is interested.

BTW, I don't know if they fixed it or not, if you enter your MGM reservation number into your MGM account add to trip, you can get the folio from MGM at the end of your stay and it will show how much Chase Travel paid for the room and how much money Chase Travel made.

No I mean the property credit that is provided as an Edit benefit:

A resort fee which is supposed to cover "other activities on property" could be classified as this, though I doubt hotels will agree. Especially not in vegas....

Oh I have not seen that yet. All the ones I have seen were "$100 dining credit".

I mean, my $0.02 is that if you book an "all fees included" rate with no disclaimer of an additional charge and then they sock you with a "Resort Fee" at check-in, that's chargeback fodder. Note that in the screenshot above, the "Resort Fee" is explicitly included in the quoted rate, so I don't think the hotel would have a leg to stand on - any "mistake" or "confusion" would be between them and Chase, not them and you.

Whether you want to pursue this depends on how much you value your relationship with the property in question (I'll do it with Hilton because based on their reputation for arbitrarily killing accounts because people "complain too much" I place a value of $0 on my loyalty relationship there), but I consider it to be completely unethical for properties to play that sort of game. I'd go through some ritualistic pushback at check-out (to say you did so when contesting) and then I'd be on the phone with Chase as soon as the charge formally posts.

The hotel I have booked for this weekend says "$100 property credit; applied once during stay, not valid on room rate, taxes, fees or gratuities."

Here's a fun one - so there's $250+ of fees on top of the room rate here?




Granted this isn't an Edit hotel but its same ambiguous BS - I honestly can't tell if I will owe resort fees

Fee included in the calculation of the total. But you pay at the hotel, not through Chase Travel

I’m comparing my options for a three-night stay at the Hay-Adams (DC) in January. It’s $1585 including taxes and fees for both Amex FH&R and Chase Edit. Both have same benefits except Amex is a guaranteed 4 pm late check out; Chase only if available.

But…$300 statement credit on Amex; $250 on Edit. Also, 5x points on Amex (worth ~$120 here) and no points on Chase when the credit applies. Amex wins this one.

I think your math is wrong.

Without factoring the value of Amex vs Chase points (which is clearly different), you would earn 7,925 Amex points vs 10,680 Chase points.

I think this no-points fine print is bad form on Chase’s part. That’s a big reduction in the value of the $250 statement credit, and something lots of cardholders won’t notice.

Again, if you look at the total points you would earn from your stay, as I have calculated for you, you will still earn more points by booking through Chase Travel than Amex Travel.

Agreed and this just goes to show you how bad Chase's wording is on this. They have people that have been in the points and miles game for decades (myself included) confused on what the wording actually means. Yes, you lose the points you would have earned on the $250 that you did not actually spend due to the credit, but you do not lose the entire transaction worth of points.

To be fair to Chase, I look at Amex's treatment of this (giving you points for what was otherwise credited) as a bonus vs. Chase being the expected behavior (you don't earn points on what you didn't actually spend). I just wish Chase would fix the wording to avoid confusion.

How would I earn any points via Chase on this? See the fine print about not earning points on a purchase that qualifies for the $250 edit credit?

Ah, that would be great if so. And yes, that�s terrible wording. I�m only making one purchase here, so the more natural interpretation of this provision is that the whole purchase does not qualify for points. Strange to imagine that I�m making a $250 purchase, and then another purchase for the balance.

This has been discussed ad nauseum on this thread. The only portion you don't earn points is the $250.
