It seems like every IHG booking post ~12/25 ish now automatically shows up in my IHG account without needing to manually contact the hotel, which is a win in my books.

not mine and a few other people’s experience.

That's possible, but for some reason the posts I've seen had the experience like mine - here's one albeit for a rebooking of the Edit but nevertheless the meter did move while the charge was pending.

Either way, it's great that the meter is now updating for everyone while the charge is pending.

In case it's not clear yet, this is definitely not true. I have no problem rebooking and canceling at the same time and receive credit automatically for the new booking.

No need to wait before rebooking. Smooth implementation, Chase.

In December 2025 I made a prepaid Edit booking for a NYC stay in May 2026. Received the $250 Edit credit. I now need to adjust the reservation (start and end the 2 day reservation one day earlier). Anything I can do to just change the reservation dates rather than having to cancel it entirely and then rebook?

And if I cancel and rebook, will Chase clawback and I will forever lose the $250 Edit credit from 2025? Haven't seen DPs yet on Edit reservations made in 2025 that are canceled and rebooked in 2026.

I haven’t seen any, and given we are barely a week into the new year, and this program is in its first year, is likely there aren’t any yet, at least posted here. The reality is, if you need to change your dates, you need to do that, regardless of how The credits settle. I’d personally go with the expectation that the 2025 credit is forfitted if you cancel and rebook today, and be happy if you get to keep it. You may be the first DP, if you follow up.

I’ll say this is a potential drawback of using the previous year credit for a future year booking. That said, I booked a hotel for 2026 late December as well, so I’d be in the same boat if I end up needing to change. I don’t expect to, but truth is you never know.

I am on a similar boat. Booked a January 2026 hotel stay with 2025 EDIT credit, the EDIT hotel price dropped by around $100. I did not rebook for fear of losing $250 2025 credit. The EDIT price is about $100 higher than Stars so the net EDIT benefit, as compared to Stars booking, is only about $50.

If you have to do it you have to do it... My intuitive suggestion, though no idea if it'll work: make the new booking and wait for the $250 charge and credit both to post, and then cancel the old booking. This way the credit may get clawed back from your 2026 credit. I'm sure many people here would love to hear how this works out! The key here is that you need to cancel anyway, so may as well do this for science 🤓

Had a reservation where it looks like I was double charged the resort fee. It looks like they rolled it into the taxes as the reservation was $1400 with $380 in taxes in a city where the hotel tax rate is 12 percent. Called Chase Travel and they told me to pound sand and dispute the charge. Has anyone else been successful in fighting this?

Have you stayed there already?

Were you double charged at booking or charged again at the hotel?

Screenshots? Did it say resort fee was included as part of your booking?

I was charged at the hotel. It doesn't explicitly say this but under the terms of the booking no resort fee is mentioned. Also it's pretty clear with a 12 percent tax rate that a $1400 should not be over $300 in taxes charged by.Chase. Going to file a dispute.

Not sure if you can still pull up your reservation on Chase Travel. Mine says something like this on reservations that charge a resort fee.

Doesn't say that sadly but went through the terms again and no mention of a resort fee.

Glitch in the system?

Just an FYI. I booked a two night stay at an IHG Edit hotel for August this year and I received the $250 Edit credit, $197 IHG credit and $300 travel credit for the stay. The two night stay cost $497 total. Does it matter? Not to me, I will be doing more than enough travel to have used all of the credits. It might to someone only booking one trip. I didn't expect it to apply the travel credit to that stay but it did. Just wanted to let everybody know.

L8r.

Anyone else having an issue getting the Edit credit to go through on their travel reservations? I booked a 3 night stay at an IHG Edit hotel on 1/2/2026 and the IHG $250 credit posted 2 days later but the Edit credit still has not posted. Called CS today and they gave me some run-around that it might take 6-8 weeks for the Edit credit to post. Waiting 2 billing cycles for a credit to post is unacceptable!
