FHR Bellagio Las Vegas quick notes

Just wrapped a Fine Hotels + Resorts stay at Bellagio and figured I’d share a few practical notes in case it helps someone else. Upgrade: basically nothing. Don’t go in expecting much here. $60 per day credit: this one is sneaky. It’s technically two $30 credits but really just...

How often do room upgrades actually happen with Chase The Edit?

Curious what people’s real world experience has been booking hotels through Chase The Edit. How common are room upgrades in practice? I’m heading to Vegas and debating between Caesars Palace (not The Edit) and Bellagio through The Edit. Caesars would get me a renovated room and...

Amex let me keep the $300 hotel credit after canceling. Why?

I prepaid an FHR/THC hotel, got the $300 Amex Platinum credit, then canceled the stay back in October. With the year almost over, I reached out to Amex assuming the credit would get clawed back. Instead, they told me they review overall eligible spending on the account across...

Staying in hotels with no active credit card… any options?

My brother’s driving cross-country and lost his wallet for a day. He froze his cards, canceled all his hotel bookings, then fully canceled every card… and of course he found the wallet right after. He’s got his ID now and plenty of cash, just no working card. Trying to figure...

First time using FHR… how does the $100 credit work?

I’m doing my first FHR stay for two nights and wasn’t sure what to expect with the $100 hotel credit. Will the front desk actually mention it at check-in and tell me what counts? And if my eligible charges come out to around $100, does it just get taken off the bill at checkout...
