Chase's benefit terms include this misleading sentence:

Any purchases that qualify for the $500 Credit for stays with The Edit will not earn points.
Ultimate Rewards points are earned on The Edit stays. The exclusion applies only to $250 directly offset by the credit.

Any amount above $250 charged to your CSR earns 8x points.

You can split the payment for Edit bookings between cash and points - you can charge $250 to your CSR to get The Edit credit and cover the remaining balance with UR points at a rate of somewhere between 1.6 and 2 cpp. No points are earned when payment is done this way.

With regard to the $300 discount mentioned, did you mean the $250 Edit credit or are you referring to having received your $300 travel credit against an Edit booking because it qualifies for that credit as well?
Sorry I meant the $250 Chase credit - got confused with Amex Plat.
  • Ritz Carlton Pentagon City (2x) - (Marriott Plat status)
  • Intercon Barclay NYC (IC Plat status)
And here's what's frustrating - just checked into Hyatt Capitol Hill on a points booking - was upgraded to a massive suite without even asking (I'm Discoverist LOL). And earlier this week I stayed at Westin Copley (also on points) and was also upgraded to a high floor corner room with an amazing view. So why is it so difficult for Edit properties to at least upgrade me to a high floor and/or room with a view? I don't expect suites, but I would appreciate something that is a couple notches above the worst ROH rooms.

Now I suppose I could go through the drill of rejecting the room and insisting on a better one. But I should not have to do that as an Edit customer, assuming they value the business.

Of course, you also have an expectation that at that price level the hard product will be perfect too but service is equally as important, at least to me.
I concur. Since my first stay in 1991, I don't think I've ever had a negative experience at an FS property, which include Whistler, Houston, Westlake (LA), Philadelphia. Most have been exceptional. Alas I rarely stay at FS unless it is OPM as the rates are too rich for my blood and they don't offer points.

I'm not a fan of FS. Not bad but nothing ever spectacular - I find the chain hotels go extra mile for elites than 4S who treats everyone ok and might go farther for high paying guests.

I frankly don't understand why everyone raves about 4S and Rosewood. Never had a bad stay but never had an amazing one. Often get amazing ones at Hyatt and sometimes even Marriott
