Any data points on The Edit credits re-posting after cancellation clawback?

I used my Edit booking on two reservations, and I made another two Edit bookings (same property & same dates) because of price drop before canceling the original booking that triggered the credit (ie: waited until the booking transaction posted, waited a few biz days, canceled original booking). Was hoping it worked similar to FHR where it wouldn't claw as long as a FHR transaction of >$300 remained. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to be the case as both the credits got clawed back.

Will the credits post in time against the subsequent bookings or do I have to make a new booking to trigger it? FWIW the dashboard still shows $500 credits available.

have not done this myself, but earlier reports seem to indicate it does not work like AMEX, and that credits need to be returned to your ‘available’ pool before they can be used again. So rebooking a reservation for a price drop before canceling the one the credit was tied to will not use that credit. Instead, you need to cancel, wait for credit to come back to your account, then rebook. This is indeed a PITA for price drop, or really any other changes due to the wait required - a change of dates requires a cancel/rebook. With AMEX, this will even out - in fact, I just had to rebook a THC reservation because dates shifted. I don’t really have to worry about this on the AMEX side.

your dashboard showing the full credits avIlable are evidence that the credits aren’t going to be used for your new bookings.

That has been my experience. I had to rebook the second time, after the meter reset, in order for the $250 credit to apply. Fortunately, the rate stayed the same for the second rebooking.

Can that hassle with waiting for the credit to repost be avoided by just calling in and having agent change dates if applicable?

I doubt it. Usually what you can't do yourself online, the phone agents can't do either and Chase Travel doesn't have a change date option for hotel bookings like Amex travel does.

Amex travel does not have a change button either, IME. In fact, just confirmed with chat agent a few days ago that there is no ‘change’ - that you need to cancel/rebook - at least with FHR/THC bookings.

There is a 'Change Date' function:

But yes, you cannot change a booking beyond date changes.

In my experience with Hyatt CASH rate, the base point was calculated based on what Chase Edit paid the hotel. With your example, the Hyatt base point you earned will not be on $1,000 nor $750, but something in between. I assume point redemption should work the same.

I was looking at a June trip to Chicago. 2 hotels are eligible for the double-dip. I as looking at the slightly lower priced one.

Direct: $1510
Chase: $1993 - $250 - $150 = $1593
Chase grants the breakfast and hotel credit, but still leaves a bad taste in my mouth, especially with zero details on to what the breakfast entails.

don't they price match now?

When I stayed in The Mondrian CDMX, tips fpr my breakfast were not covered under the $100.00 credit, I found out at checkout. The exclusions should bhe made clear at checkin.

What is the -$150 off for?

If you're referring to double dipping on Edit plus Select Hotels credits then it's a $250 credit for each which makes booking with Chase $1493. Still doesn't feel like your getting any deal when the price is pretty much the same as booking direct but it is another $100 off. You can try getting Chase to price match though.

First, what is $150? There is a $250 edit credit, and $250 one-time 2026 credit (plus, you can technically do a back to back reservation to get both edit credits if you want). But even without the latter, credit would be $500, not $400. There is also a $100 off $600 Chase offer if you have it that you can use.

That said, my thing is to always look at the options and see when it's worth using the credit and when not. Are the benefits worth using those credits for? Is there another trip later where the benefits would be put to better use? Or is something expiring soon so it would essentially be use it or lose it. Seems like in this case, IME, the benefits aren't really worth using - you're getting a higher price while using credits you won't be able to use later. If it's near the end of the year and these are about to expire, maybe, but seems well not worth it at this point.

There's always the option to book direct now, and keep checking back to see for price changes. At some point, rates can drop and the price might be closer, so may be worth using. YMMV, of course.

Supposedly, testing from what I've read (just on business CSR, I think?). Rumored to potentially be rolling out at some point later.

Even if it was live, not sure how that would jive with an edit hotel. Benefits are going to be different, and I can definitely see exclusions based on the amenities received with an edit booking vs. direct with hotel.

I have a booking made on my CSRB that is both an Edit and Select Hotels booking and when I look at my list of bookings under my trips this one says Price Match Guarantee.

Under the list of trips you can click on "See what's eligible" for Price Match Guarantee and the below screenshots is what you see:

So I wonder how many price matches they will actually end up granting based on these terms.

Assuming the $150 is really a $250 = $1493 vs $1510 - if you can pay the remaining $1493 with 2x points boost (74,650 points) maybe is not as bad a deal?
If not using boosted points I would skip The Edit for this trip and use those credits some other time this year.
International there seems to be better deals than Domestic.
