The Edit by Chase Travel explained
The Edit by Chase Travel is Chase’s in-house travel portal answer to the Fine Hotels + Resorts program (offered with select Amex credit cards), as well as the Capital One Premier Collection.
If you have the right Chase credit card and want to stay in luxury hotels around the world as a VIP, The Edit by Chase Travel collection unlocks premium benefits when you make an eligible booking from a hand-picked selection of luxury hotels and resorts worldwide.

Benefits of The Edit by Chase Travel
The benefits offered by The Edit by Chase Travel are comparable with the luxury portals offered by Amex and Capital One. If you book your stay with your Chase credit card, here are the benefits you’ll get with your stay:
-
Daily breakfast for two
-
A special benefit worth up to $100 (unique to each property, but can include a welcome gift, spa credits, meal credits, golf discounts and more)
-
Complimentary internet access
-
Room upgrade based on availability
-
Early check-in based on availability
-
Late check-out based on availability
Perks like breakfast and property credits can provide significant savings, especially on longer trips. Breakfast at some luxury properties can be quite costly, and having credits you can use at various parts of the property can offer you a way to enjoy your vacation even more.
When you look at The Edit by Chase Travel properties on the portal’s website, you can get a feel for what benefits might include depending on where you stay. As an example, The Palazzo at The Venetian in Las Vegas lists regular perks as part of their stay, plus travelers get daily breakfast credit of up to $65 per suite, per day, and a signature bottle of champagne in their suite once per stay.
Also, note that the collection includes more than 1,000 of the world’s finest hotels and resorts in destinations that span from the Caribbean to Asia and Europe. This means eligible Chase cardholders can utilize these benefits on stays around the world.

You’ll also have the option to pay with points, your eligible Chase card or a combination of both. Once you’ve entered your information, you can finalize your booking.
When you should book with The Edit
As a rule of thumb, you’ll want to compare pricing with booking directly to see if the extra perks you get are worth it. For example, you could always price out the cost of the property you want to book directly with a room upgrade included, the cost of breakfast and the added property credits you get built-in. If the math works out favorably, booking with The Edit makes sense, especially when you add non-monetary perks like early check-in and late checkout.
The bottom line
If you have an eligible Chase card, The Edit by Chase Travel can be worth exploring if you want elite perks at a luxury hand-picked property. That said, you could also just reward yourself and book a VIP stay as a treat. At the end of the day, The Edit by Chase Travel is a great way to flex your rewards muscles for romantic getaways, anniversary trips and other special occasions.
