As topic, anyone know?

There is an ongoing thread in the Fairmont Forum that posts them as soon as they are available. They are released the first week of the month, so anytime on or before the 7th.

I've looked since the 1st until now the 7th and it's still not there... is this normal?

Yupp, I've seen it released as late as the 11th.

The Great Rates will be available just after midnight tonight.
They were delayed because of Canada Day and the 4th of July.

They are posted. One question, can you get AA miles with these rates? I'm currently booked on an NFAF rate that's the same as this rate and would love to get AA miles as well. Thanks for the info and I'm looking forward to my first Fairmont experience. Marriott and their $200+ rates for mediocre properties has lost me...

You should get the miles but the great rates are usually non refundable

Usually? I understood they're always nonrefundable, though have only been paying attention for the paat year or so and could be wrong.

At any rate, pardon the pun :p, the new month's offers are available to FPC members only and are out. Note the YVR Airport as it's a very good value for a very good hotel usualy at least double the sale rate:

I just booked Boston Copley for Aug. 6 to hear Sir ;) Paul McCartney in concert. Maybe something has changed because the rate is prepaid but fully refundable until Aug. 5! :)

Darn it, no Banff nor Jasper! :( Oh well, those 2 have NFAF @ C$189 & 179 respectively.

I knew it was prepaid but didn't bother to really see if refundable, I shouldn't have made the assumption. I used it, worked out $20($60 total) cheaper then NFAF on a stay in a couple days.

Seriously - Scottsdale at $90 is an amazing price. Book if you can!! Even the Casita suite for $165 is awesome!!:D

Great thanks. I had the NFAF rate booked next week @ $119 but will gladly pay an extra $10 for the AA miles.

You can't receive miles on the Great Rates - here are the terms posted on the site:

Great Rates - Great Dates are offered exclusively to Fairmont President's Club members. You must be a member to book these rates. Great Rates must be booked within the seven-day time period allowed. If you're not yet a member click here. Offer is subject to availability and limited blackout dates at time of reservation for double occupancy in a Fairmont room. Stay must be paid in full at time of reservation. Offer may not be combined with other promotions or offers. Fairmont President's Club certificates are not applicable for this promotion. Partner airline miles are not rewarded on this offer. Full payment at time of booking, non refundable.

Why "non refundable" ?

It says deposit (for the full amount) is required at booking, but it still subject to the 6pm cancellation policy (on day of arrival).
