The Chase Sapphire Reserve® andSapphire Reserve for Business℠ have two hotel credits worth paying attention to: the $250 Select Hotels credit and the Edit credit. Even better, you can potentially stack them for up to $500 back on a single qualifying hotel booking.

Finding an affordable hotel that qualifies for both is the biggest challenge. You need a participating property, a prepaid reservation of at least two nights, and a price that makes sense after applying the credits.

Using HotelMaxxer, we've identified 10 affordable two-night hotel stays, starting at just $306 for two nights. Several cost less than $500 total, meaning eligible cardholders could cover the entire prepaid stay with their credits.

TL;DR

• Cheapest two-night Edit stays that qualify for both credits: Hotel Indigo Auckland at $306, followed by InterContinental Zhengzhou at $350.

• Stack up to $500: The $250 Select Hotels credit and $250 The Edit credit can combine on a qualifying reservation

• Two-night minimum: Both credits require eligible prepaid bookings through Chase Travel.

• Best U.S. option: Virgin Hotels New Orleans starts at $401 for two nights.

• Important deadline: The Select Hotels credit expires December 31, 2026, but you can use it to make bookings for 2027.

How the 2026 $250 Select Hotels and Edit Credits Work

The CSR offers two separate hotel credits that can work together.

The Select Hotels benefit is available for eligible stays through December 31, 2026. We aren’t sure yet if the benefit will return for 2027. I sure hope it does.

How to Stack Both Credits for Up to $500

The best opportunity comes from finding a hotel that qualifies for both benefits.

Chase applies the $250 The Edit credit first, followed by the Select Hotels credit.

Here's how that works with the cheapest hotel from our research.

Can You Stack the $300 Annual Travel Credit Too?

Yes. The Sapphire Reserve's separate $300 annual travel credit can also apply to eligible hotel purchases.

That means you could potentially stack up to $800 in statement credits on a qualifying reservation. And unlike the Edit credit and the Select Hotels credit, the travel credit can be used for any eligible travel purchase made with your card (up to $300).

However, the booking must be expensive enough to use all three credits.

The $300 travel credit also follows your cardmember anniversary year rather than the calendar year.

Can You Book a 2027 Stay Using the 2026 Select Hotels Credit?

Yes, the key is when you make the booking, not when you check into the hotel.

The $250 Select Hotels credit is available for qualifying purchases made through December 31, 2026. The Edit credits work the same way but its advertised as an annual benefit so there will be new Edit credits in 2027. We’re still waiting on news if the Select Hotels credit will return for 2027.

That means a prepaid reservation purchased in 2026 for a 2027 stay can qualify.

Hotel Indigo Auckland's cheapest dates are in June 2027, while Virgin Hotels New Orleans has its lowest observed price in July 2027.

Don't wait until December 31. Processing delays could affect which benefit period receives the transaction.

Also, be careful with cancellations. If you cancel your stay after 2026 using the 2026 Select Hotels credit, it’s gone.

How to Find the Cheapest Edit and Select Hotels Stays

HotelMaxxer makes the first part of the search much easier because it lets you compare participating Edit hotels that qualify for the Select Hotel Credit by their nightly rates on a pretty map. No need to navigate through Chase’s site which takes a lot more time to find what you’re looking for.

There are ~170 hotels that qualify for both the Edit credit and Select Hotels Credit. In order to find them, all you have to do is turn on the filter to find Edit hotels that qualify for the Select Hotels Credit.

To manually confirm, go onto Chase Travel and look up the hotel you would like to book.

As an example, you can see above that the Kimpton Taconic hotel in Vermont is eligible for both the Edit credit and Select Hotel credit.

Final Thoughts on the Cheapest Chase Sapphire Reserve Hotels

The Sapphire Reserve's $250 Select Hotels credit becomes especially valuable when combined with the $250 The Edit credit.

Our research identified 10 hotels with two-night stays below $500, led by Hotel Indigo Auckland at $306 and InterContinental Zhengzhou at $350.

For domestic travelers, Virgin Hotels New Orleans and Omni Tempe Hotel at ASU offer affordable alternatives.

Use HotelMaxxer to compare prices, then confirm that your selected hotel qualifies for both credits through Chase Travel.
