$869 Hotel for 31,251 Points: Chase The Edit at the Fairmont Waterfront
We spent one night at the Fairmont Waterfront in Vancouver before starting a 31-day trip to Tokyo, booked through Chase's The Edit program with our Sapphire Reserve. This video breaks down what Edit benefits we actually received, how check-in went, a full tour of our corner partial harbour view king room, and the real math on what we paid versus what the room would have cost.

That requires a two-night minimum. 🚢 Why it works for cruisers The hotel sits right on Canada Place, about a six-minute walk to the cruise terminal. We arrived around noon, got our keys before the room was even ready, and had a text with our room number by 1:11 PM. Check-in is normally 3 PM. ⏱️ Chapters 00:00 Why we're at the Fairmont Waterfront 0:40 The pre-arrival email 1:33 Early check-in and getting keys before the room was ready 2:23 Chase Edit benefits explained 3:10 Our welcome amenity 4:03 How Edit benefits have worked for us in practice 5:10 Room 1816 tour 9:01 The harbour and cruise port view 10:53 Breakfast 12:26 What we paid vs. rack rate 13:22 The $250 Edit credit catch 14:14 Is The Edit worth it?
