What they did

Got card credits you never use well? His Chase card gives two $250 credits for The Edit hotels, with a 2-night minimum. His Dots agent checked every possible 2-night window during his trip at every eligible hotel and told him which gave the best mix of value, location and fit with his plans. He says that would have taken him days.
