There’s a new free tool out last year that can help you make use of those pesky $250 Chase Travel℠ The Edit credits that come with the Chase Sapphire Reserve and Sapphire Reserve for Business cards. It’s called EditMaxxer and essentially aims to do for The Edit what MaxFHR does for Amex’s Fine Hotels and Resorts.
It’s a free tool, and allows you to quickly find properties that are part of The Edit by location, brand, value, or price, and even allows you to filter by hotels that are eligible for both the $250 Edit credit and the one-time $250 Chase Travel credit for select hotels that’s only available for this year.
Editmaxxer collates every hotel bookable through The Edit and displays them by the lowest price at which they’re bookable through the end of the booking calendar. Results can then be displayed by map as shown above or as a list, like you see below:
As you can see, like MaxFHR, the lowest available price for each property is displayed on the list results.
When you click through to a specific property, the site displays the pricing for every day of the current month. You can then scroll through the calendar month by month to quickly review pricing, which can be extremely useful if you’re flexible with your travel dates.
To view a full-year calendar, you’ll need to create a free account with NextCard, the site that offers the tool. Otherwise, can only see the current calendar month, as shown below:
Handily, for each day of the calendar, you can also see what the Points Boost rate is for that property on that date, from 1.65 cents per point to 2.0.
Again, like MaxFhr, there’s a disclaimer that the pricing displayed might not be the most up-to-date. The site presumably pulls pricing at regular intervals, which helps the calendars load quickly, since they don’t pull dynamic information from the Chase Travel website.
EditMaxxer is more stripped down than MaxFhr. It doesn’t have the same number of filtering options, and it also doesn’t display the unique benefit for the property in question. Still, it’s a handy free tool that helps you make use of what’s arguably the most frustrating of the coterie of new credit card-based hotel credits.
