That's very kind of you to remember!
I had booked about a week's worth of hotels using Chase URs, yes. (The other few days I had originally booked the "normal" way and then I was going to try to rebook with points after I had received another SUB).
Yes, I canceled the Kyoto hotel (it made me cry to do it) and those URs immediately went back into my account. So I am happy to continue with Chase IF they'll allow me to, but they literally just approved me for the CSP about 3 weeks ago so I'm not sure 1- if they'd approve yet another card so soon... it would have to be a personal I think? and 2- if there are even any other Chase cards with nice SUBs worth considering.
I do wish to look into Japan again... what I am mostly hoping for is that my VS miles (which are now of course stuck in VS forever) will still be "good" to rebook on ANA when the time comes and that I have enough of some sort of points to cover hotels again.
I'm just so worried about what international travel may look like, even in a year.
You might consider the Hilton with amex, if you don't get the popup. If you go to TDLR you can use it there, or I'm sure they have other properties. Otherwise I'd wait on chase and figure out a non chase card you are good with. If there's nothing specific aside from Japan, I'm not sure, it would depend on what goal you have. Sometimes just hanging tight and using what you have, especially now, is the way to go if there's no other goal than gaining more UR.
