If you’re a Chase Sapphire Reserve® (see rates and fees) or Chase Sapphire Reserve for Business℠ (see rates and fees) cardholder, you might be familiar with The Edit, Chase’s premium collection of more than 1,000 properties bookable via Chase Travel℠.
If you haven’t explored what you can reserve with The Edit, take a peek. Some of the properties are pricey — like the luxury Le Bora Bora, which costs upward of $3,000 per night. Others are more affordable — like the Kimpton Epic Hotel in Miami, which starts at under $400 per night.
Here’s what you need to know to maximize the value of The Edit credit available on these two cards.
How the The Edit credit works
The Edit credit on the Sapphire Reserve and Sapphire Reserve for Business is split into two statement credits of up to $250 each (for a maximum of $500 per year).
As long as you book a stay at a property from Chase’s curated The Edit portfolio, you’ll should see the credit post within eight weeks (though TPG staffers have reported seeing similar credits post much sooner).
Note that you must book two separate prepaid stays of two nights or more to receive the full $500 The Edit credit. But if you don’t have a need to max out this credit all at once, you’ll end up with two separate $250 statement credits you can use each year.
Perks of booking a stay with The Edit include:
- A $100 property credit
- Daily breakfast for two
- Early check-in and late checkout (if available)
- Room upgrades (if available)
Travel booked via Chase Travel — including The Edit reservations — earns 8 points per dollar spent. But note that like the popular $300 travel credit (which does not have to be used within Chase Travel), the first $250 of each booking does not earn Ultimate Rewards points.

The Edit bookings also earn hotel loyalty points. For example, if you book a Marriott property through The Edit, you should also earn Marriott Bonvoy points on your stay. However, an exception is Small Luxury Hotels of the World bookings (part of Hilton Honors) made through The Edit, which will not earn Hilton Honors points as they are not booked directly.
Cardholders also receive a separate one-time credit of up to $250 for select hotels booked through Chase Travel in 2026.
How to maximize The Edit credit
With a $795 annual fee on either the Sapphire Reserve or the Sapphire Reserve for Business, maximizing their perks is important. You want to make sure the value you get out of a card with a big price tag is worth it.
Luckily, there are multiple ways to maximize this credit. For one, you can use your Sapphire Reserve card to pay for a minimum two-night stay at a hotel through The Edit, receive up to $250 in statement credits, and use your Ultimate Rewards points (with elevated value if the stay is Points Boost-eligible) to cover the rest of your stay.
TPG contributing editor Matt Moffitt used his $250 credit toward a stay at the Urso Hotel and Spa in Madrid, Spain, which lowered the $847 price tag for two nights to $597.
From there, he was able to use 29,850 Chase points to cover the remaining costs of the stay, as the property was Points Boost eligible at a value of 2 cents per point. (Not all The Edit properties offer a fixed 2-cent-per-point redemption value.)

Bottom line
The Edit credit on the Sapphire Reserve and Sapphire Reserve for Business is a solid perk for cards with high annual fees.
If you want to get the most value from your Sapphire Reserve card, maximizing the statement credits — and using the benefits associated with booking a stay at one of The Edit properties, such as the $100 property credit — is a good place to start.
