New $250 Credit and Improved The Edit Credit for Sapphire Reserve Cards
🔃 Update: I reached out to Chase for comment on whether the two credits could stack if for example an IHG property was also part of The Edit. The answer? “Yes, The Edit credit and the new $250 hotel credit would both apply to the same booking.”
As we’re getting ready for the big Amex Platinum revamp which takes place tomorrow, Chase is surprising Sapphire Reserve cardholders with a new credit and an improvement to an existing credit.
This is a positive but strange move as the cards just (re)launched a couple of months ago. Maybe they’re trying to steal some of the limelight from Amex, or maybe they didn’t get as many new signups as they expected. Or perhaps, they’re reading all the Amex Platinum leaks and realizing that even at $100 more, those cards might be more enticing?
Nonetheless, existing and new Chase Sapphire Reserve and Sapphire Reserve for Business cardholder will enjoy these changes starting next year.
Improved The Edit Credit
Currently, The Edit $500 credit is split into two $250 statement credits. You can use one $250 credit between January 1 and June 30 and the second one between July 1 and December 31.
Starting January 1, 2026, enjoy up to $500 in automatic statement credits annually for prepaid bookings made with The Edit, with a maximum of $250 per transaction. So you can use these $250 credit for two stays at any time during the year.
Two-night minimum still applies.
