Coup It Or Lose It! July 2026

July Game Plan: Set Up H2 Early

The mistake most people make is waiting until November to think about semi-annual credits. By then, Edit hotels are booked for the holidays and you're scrambling.

This week: Book a fall Edit hotel stay. Labor Day weekend, October leaf-peeping, Thanksgiving — pick one and lock it in. That's $250 handled.

This month: Use your first Q3 Resy credit. Summer dining is great — outdoor seating, longer hours. Book now while tables are available. Find a Resy restaurant →

By August: Browse StubHub for fall events. NFL season starts September, concert season runs through October, holiday shows start November. Buy tickets while selection is good.

Before September 30: Lululemon Q3 ($75) and remaining Resy credits. Don't let these pile up into September like Q2.
