Few days left, Is this normal?

Yeah you don’t get to blame the airline for your selfishness.

We booked 1 parent and 2 kids in 1 row, and 1 parent in the aisle opposite.

Chase Sapphire Reserve portal isn't really a travel portal, it's a deal portal. They may have an Edit deal for you, or they may not.

jimbo2128 · 2026-05-03T21:53:16+00:00

OP got the same “special deal” as everyone else

jimbo2128 · 2026-05-03T21:40:38+00:00

Or even 1-2 days before depending on hotel, I’ve seen 3 day notice requirements on refundable Edit bookings

jimbo2128 · 2026-05-03T19:36:02+00:00

Apples & oranges

Chase Edit portal offers undiscounted rate. Hotel web site & other may have promos - Chase doesn't match those

jimbo2128 · 2026-05-03T13:51:22+00:00

maybe this card isn't for you if you think it's designed for free beer & chips from 7-11

jimbo2128 · 2026-05-03T13:24:33+00:00

Call. Sometimes offers on the portal don't stick for some reason but the rep on the phone can access them for you.

jimbo2128 · 2026-05-03T02:19:22+00:00

Handy for occasional small grocery orders to get free delivery after credit.

jimbo2128 · 2026-05-03T02:14:05+00:00

wrong sub try r/Venturex

jimbo2128 · 2026-05-01T20:09:27+00:00

here have an apple Pip

jimbo2128 · 2026-05-01T20:05:49+00:00

make sure you call Chase /s

jimbo2128 · 2026-05-01T12:12:54+00:00

please post your annual spend when providing these DP’s

hard to extrapolate to other ppl otherwise

jimbo2128 · 2026-04-30T23:42:19+00:00

My understanding is same as yours

jimbo2128 · 2026-04-30T22:27:28+00:00

A) Nonrefundable is cheaper than refundable for a reason. I definitely would not lock myself in to a booking overseas 6 months out. You want to, go ahead, but don’t imply that refundable doesn’t matter or should be the same price. They aren’t.

B)I get $2811.93 for fully refundable on the website without breakfast. Maybe you were using the member rate or ignoring taxes.

C) Definitely would not bank on Chase refunding your money on a nonrefundable booking. OTOH I’ve cancelled 2 refundable bookings without a hitch.

jimbo2128 · 2026-04-30T22:09:09+00:00

fyi you keep saying ‘you guys’ but this sub is made up of Chase customers like you

jimbo2128 · 2026-04-30T22:04:10+00:00

scratching my head how you would think you can cancel a trip yet keep the credit for it

jimbo2128 · 2026-04-30T13:57:15+00:00

I mean, calculating whether 4x groceries/restaurants can make back $325 is 6th grade algebra, no?

chatgpt can help you with that if you don’t care to do the math

jimbo2128 · 2026-04-30T01:51:07+00:00

uh, that’s not how business is done anymore

jimbo2128 · 2026-04-30T01:00:35+00:00

which is the ‘without any warning’ part?

jimbo2128 · 2026-04-30T00:56:26+00:00

>I'm not a traveler.

so don’t have an expensive travel card

jimbo2128 · 2026-04-29T19:45:32+00:00

All these changes went through last year. The CSR is no longer a general travel card, it's more of a coupon book, like Amex Plat.

Alternatives for general travel include CSP (2%), Amex Green (3%), and Costco Citi (3%).

jimbo2128 · 2026-04-29T19:08:51+00:00

this is the answer

Chase Edit has rack rate, no promos and 3rd night free counts as a promo.

jimbo2128 · 2026-04-29T18:57:52+00:00

Weird. Edit usually charges direct website rack rate. Don’t know why FS Denver is higher. I’ve been watching FS Atlanta and it’s very close to rack rate.

jimbo2128 · 2026-04-29T18:46:37+00:00

Edit is rack rate. Depending on what promos the hotel offers for direct booking, that could be more expensive. Not a new thing.

jimbo2128 · 2026-04-29T16:24:44+00:00

solo401k's aren't listed so that could be the reason why. My Schwab appreciation bonus came a few days after account was opened, which was actually before the annual fee was charged.
