Fairmont President's Club - "More Fairmont, More Miles": bonus miles for staying at x different Fairmont hotels

The new Fairmont benefits site lists the following benefit for all FPC members:

Earn 1000, 2000, or 3000 bonus miles if you stay at 3, 4, or 5 different Fairmont locations respectively.

Not bad, a Plat would earn 11000 miles after staying at five different Fairmonts.

I'm glad that they brought back this promo, as we usually racked up AE miles major between my wife and I. So between SO and SO, that would be 22,000 miles.;)

Jasper,
Where is this on the Fairmont site? I can't seem to find it.

It´s in the chart comparing the benefits for Club/Premier/Platinum members:

https://www.fairmont.com/EN_FA/FPC/MembershipBenefits/MembershipBenefits.htm

-> "More Fairmont, More Miles"

Oh, found it. Thanks!

Does this work for NFAF stays as well?

Don´t know for sure, but my best guess is that only stays qualify for this promo on which you earnt miles, as FAF rates don´t earn any miles I´d guess that those stays don´t qualify for this promo, unfortunately

Worked on the past promo about 4 years back with any rate..

I contacted FPC the other day asking about the miles for the benefit as I´ve stayed at six different Fairmont hotels so far this year and to my suprise nobody knew anything about this benefit.

The "More Fairmont, More Miles" benefit has also disappeared from the FPC site.

Did anyone take a screenshot of the benefit comparison chart which includes the "More Fairmont, More Miles" benefit in March 2011 by chance?

I´m pretty sure I (and the other FTers who posted in this thread) didn´t suffer from hallucinations...

Jasper2009.. I can confirm that I saw the benefits offered a couple of times earlier in the year. I'm glad that Fairmont is offering Instant Qualification kits.. it would be interesting to comb through the list of benefits once again to see if anything else has changed.

Jasper, like AM I saw that benefit listed too. In fact, I am about to start my summer swing and was banking on it! I don't have a screenshot though (never figured out how to do it! I admit, techno dinosaur that I am). They just eliminated a benefit without telling anyone? Wow.

Thanks for confirming!

Yes, I´ve exchanged several e-mails with the FPC Plat desk and basically Í´m told I must have dreamt up this benefit...

The first Plat concierge was very polite, but had never heard of that benefit. The second concierge told me that benefit was discontinued several years ago and sent me the link the current FPC site.:rolleyes:

I wouldn´t be overly suprised if they hadn´t intended to include the "More Fairmont, More Miles" benefit in the comparison chart and it was just an IT glitch/sloppy intern copying an old chart, but just pretending it was never there isn´t overly impressive in my books.

I was indeed counting on getting those 6k miles for an upcoming reward which would cost me >$200 if I bought them directly.

Maybe you (and other FTers who saw the benefit listed) should drop them an e-mail asking what happened to the benefit...

The transition to 2011 benefits was sloppy.

The platinum desk clerks often doesn't have a clue about current and updated benefits of FPC. While it may be a glitch on the website, the FPC Platinum package members receive should govern. I must admit, it would have been nice for myself to receive that benefit. The extra miles are nominal, but it all adds up.

The extra miles are nominal, but it all adds up.

Yeah, I agree with you both, AM and Jasper. I just sent an email asking for clarification (surely won't result in much, but what the heck, right?). As Jasper said, maybe when more people ask them about the same thing, they will believe that something was amiss.

I'm guessing, as AM suggests, it was a glitch and I won't be too upset over it. But it would be nice to know what's going on. I'll report back if I hear anything at all.

Cheers,

I selected the e-mail feedback option just above terms and conditions.

I sent a message, so if I hear back, I'll let you guys know as well.

Thanks for the clarification & welcome back to FT! ^

Not to sound obnoxious, but the benefit is still listed here (http://www.fairmont.com/fpc/MembershipBenefits/GreatPartnerships.htm) and was listed on the main FPC site for quite a while.

So is/was this just an "error" on the website? (= "bad luck" for those FPC members seeing this benefit listed)

Just got a reply back, saying it's no longer offered. So I referred them to that link above. Don't know if I'll hear back. Kinda got the impression that they don't much care.

Just heard back from them again.
Here's what they said:

The below link, as you mentioned, is indeed still active on the internet and should be redirected shortly. This link is a former benefits page from 2008 which is currently only available online via google and can not be found by visiting www.fairmont.com directly.

We do apologize for the confusion this has caused and we look forward to welcoming you back to Fairmont Hotels & Resorts in the near future.

Oh well...

I got a reply back as well.. from Patrick, a FPC Loyalty Representative with whom I had the pleasure to deal with over the years. The letter reads..

Thanks for posting pack. At least we´re all getting the same canned answer. :p

They´re still ignoring the fact that the benefit was listed on the main FPC site from March 1, 2011 till sometime early April and it´s not just some odd FPCers digging up broken redirects. Nevermind... will just forget about those 6000 miles.... not worth it to follow up...

I´m getting the impression that over the last 6 months FPC could have done a much better job (e.g. promo bonus miles or Plat bonus miles issue; no sweet suite promo :td:; exact status of early qualification still unclear; Passion benefit are great, but they messed up the implementation, e.g. no benefits sent out after 2 months, Fairmont Moments not plublished yet etc.)

This is a real pity as I´ve had nothing but excellent stays so far this year which included some fantastic suite upgrades, comp. upgrades, little treats, pleasant communications with GMs
