Programs

Stacking

Hotels in BOTH FHR/THC AND Chase Edit can stack benefits. Book through one program and use the other card's credits separately. Look for hotels that appear in multiple programs. Use awardhelper.com/csr-hotels to find stackable properties.

Chase Sapphire Reserve Hotel Credits (2026)

The Edit credit: $500/yr (two separate $250 credits, usable anytime during the calendar year). Two-night minimum, prepaid through Chase Travel. Each stay also gets the $100 property credit + daily breakfast + room upgrade. Points Boost gives 2cpp when redeeming UR at Edit hotels. Always compare Chase Travel rates against direct booking.

Select Hotels credit: $250 one-time (2026 only). Prepaid 2+ night stay at: IHG, Minor Hotels, Montage, Omni, Pan Pacific, Pendry, or Virgin Hotels. Booked through Chase Travel. Expires Dec 31, 2026. Earns hotel loyalty points AND elite night credits on the full purchase amount.

Stacking strategy: Properties that are both Edit hotels AND one of the 7 Select Hotels brands can trigger BOTH credits on a single stay ($250 Edit + $250 Select = $500 back).

Budget option: Use the $250 Select Hotels credit at affordable IHG properties (Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express). A 2-night prepaid stay around $250 total gets nearly fully covered by the credit alone.

Amex Platinum Hotel Credit Mechanics (FHR or THC)

$600 annual total, split $300 per half-year (Jan-Jun and Jul-Dec). Use it or lose it, does not roll over. Prepaid bookings through Amex Travel with Platinum or Business Platinum. FHR and THC share the same $600 pool.

• FHR = 1-night minimum. THC = 2-night minimum.
• Credit triggers on booking/prepayment, not stay date. Book in June for a September trip and the H1 credit still fires.
• 5x MR points still earned on Amex Travel bookings that trigger the credit.
• No enrollment needed. Just book through Amex Travel and pay with your Platinum.
• Can split across multiple bookings if a stay costs less than $300 per half.
• Cancellation = clawback unless you rebook before the credit expires.
• Elite status recognition is hit or miss through Amex Travel. Plug in loyalty numbers anyway.
• MaxFHR.com is a great tool for finding the cheapest FHR/THC properties by date and destination.
• Always compare Amex Travel rates against booking direct. Portal rates can be higher.

Searching by City

FHR and THC (coordinate-based)

FHR and THC properties have lat/lng coordinates. Search by bounding box around a city.

Find properties near a city (adjust lat/lng and radius as needed):

# Stockholm (59.33, 18.07) - search within ~0.15 degrees (~15km)
LAT=59.33; LNG=18.07; R=0.15
jq --argjson lat $LAT --argjson lng $LNG --argjson r $R \
  '[.properties[] | select(
    .coordinates.lat > ($lat - $r) and .coordinates.lat < ($lat + $r) and
    .coordinates.lng > ($lng - $r) and .coordinates.lng < ($lng + $r)
  ) | {name, program, credit}]' data/fhr-properties.json

jq --argjson lat $LAT --argjson lng $LNG --argjson r $R \
