The same hotel, six programs: how much the lists overlap

The seven programs on this site list 10,727 hotels between them, as of the August 28, 2026 snapshot. Match those listings against each other by location and name and you get about 5,900 distinct properties. So a lot of hotels are in more than one program, and if you hold more than one card, which portal you book through is a real choice with real money attached. I counted.

The shape of the overlap

Of the roughly 6,000 properties, 3,583 were in exactly one program. Then 1,135 in two, 652 in three, 318 in four, 216 in five, 87 in six, and six hotels in all seven. So forty percent of the hotels have a second way in, and about one in ten has four or more.

The six that are in everything are what you would guess: the kind of large, well-run, chain-adjacent luxury hotel that every issuer’s program manager puts on the list first. The 1 Hotels are in five or six programs almost everywhere they exist, Brooklyn Bridge, San Francisco, South Beach, Nashville, Mayfair, West Hollywood. ARIA Sky Suites in Las Vegas is in five. Atlantis The Royal in Dubai, Banyan Tree Mayakoba, the Acqualina in Sunny Isles Beach: five or six each.

Which lists overlap with which

The biggest overlap is inside Chase. 1,150 hotels are in both The Edit and Renowned, which is 82% of the Renowned list. They are the same portal, the same hotels and a different card, and the difference between them is the credit and the minimum stay. Citi’s Reserve then overlaps with those two more than with anything else: 452 Reserve hotels are in Renowned and 409 in The Edit, so a Strata Elite holder with a Sapphire Reserve is choosing between credits at the same hotel most of the time.

The second-biggest overlap is Amex and Bilt: 812 hotels in both FHR and Home Away From Home, which makes sense, since Virtuoso and Amex draw on the same independent luxury properties. Bilt also shares 594 with Renowned and 509 with The Edit. Across the aisle, 529 hotels are in both The Edit and FHR, the pairing people ask about most, and it is a smaller share of either list than I expected.

Capital One is the loner. Its biggest overlap is 359 hotels with Bilt, then 276 with Renowned and 225 with FHR, out of 1,072. Most Premier Collection hotels are Premier Collection hotels only, which is consistent with its list being cheaper and more four-star than the rest. Leading Hotels overlaps mainly with Amex, 196 hotels in FHR, and Bilt, 148.

What this site shows for a shared hotel

One number. Every price here is an open-market estimate, so a hotel in The Edit and FHR carries the same all-in nightly figure on both tabs; the tabs differ in the unit (two-night totals on the Chase and Citi tabs, per night on the rest) and in the perks named on the hotel panel. What the site cannot show is the thing that actually differs between the programs at a shared hotel, which is the portal’s own price. Chase Travel and Amex Travel quote the same room differently on the same dates, and the only way to see both is to open both.

So for a shared hotel the workflow is: find the cheap dates here, then open those dates in each portal you have access to and compare their totals. The calendar cells on the Chase and Amex tabs open the portal with the dates filled in for that reason.

Choosing between programs at one hotel

Length of stay decides first. One night rules out The Edit and Citi’s credit. Then the credit you haven’t spent: Chase’s $250 if you have one of the two left, Amex’s $300 if the half is unused, Citi’s $300 if it hasn’t been drawn this year. Then the perks that differ: FHR’s guaranteed 4pm checkout is the only unhedged perk in any of these programs, and The Edit’s $100 property credit is a property credit, not an experience credit, which some hotels honour more freely against the room bill.

And then the portal price, which can swing the answer the other way entirely. I have seen the same suite $80 apart between two portals on the same night, in both directions. The credits are big enough to matter and the portal gap is big enough to matter, and neither is a constant, which is why this is a check you do per booking and not a rule you learn once.

How the overlap was counted

Each listing carries a canonical key built from its normalised name and its coordinates rounded to about a kilometre. Two listings with the same key are treated as the same property. That undercounts slightly, because the same hotel occasionally appears under two spellings that don’t normalise to the same string, and overcounts almost never. The 5,896 figure the site shows on its front page is the same idea computed at build time and is the number to trust; the counts by program pair above are from the snapshot of August 28, 2026.
