Chase Tightened a Sapphire Reserve 'Edit' Credit Trick: Here's How to Still Get All $500
Chase now treats back-to-back stays at the same hotel as one stay for the Sapphire Reserve's two $250 Edit credits, but you can still pocket the full $500 a year by booking your two stays the right way.
If you have been stacking the Chase Sapphire Reserve's two $250 hotel credits by booking back-to-back nights at the same hotel, Chase just closed that specific move. But the full $500 is still yours if you book a little differently.
- The benefit: The Sapphire Reserve gives you two $250 credits per calendar year (up to $500) on prepaid hotel stays booked through The Edit by Chase Travel, with a two-night minimum on each.
- What changed: Chase added language that two back-to-back stays at the same property within 24 hours of checkout now count as a single stay, so only the first one earns a credit.
- How to still get all $500: Use your two credits on two separate stays (different properties, or the same property with a gap) rather than one continuous same-hotel booking split in two. Two genuinely separate qualifying stays still trigger both credits.
- Bottom line: It is a small nerf to a stacking trick, not a cut to the benefit. Book two real stays and you still get the full $500 a year.
