I am still awaiting my Gold upgrade cert from being [earned] Premier on Mar. 1. Has anyone else got it yet or will it still take some time?
One issue with me is that the qualifying stay had completed but not posted yet on Mar. 1st so may need to call if it doesn't show up soon.

To use the 3rd night free cert, you need to have 2 paid nights. You could use the 2 free nights and the 3rd night free cert to get 3 nights free on a 5-night stay.

Thanks CanadaDH!
Regarding the $12,000 spend for the annual free night; does it get issued once you hit the 12K spend? And then once issued (whatever the issue date may be) the expiration is 1yr from that date?

I get mine a few days after my anniversary statement closes. (The annual free night is based on card member not calendar year.). It is good for one year.

AMEX FHR has a fourth night free at the Maui resort. Can I book 4 nights thru FHR and apply the 3rd night free cert? Thus effectively only paying for 2nts?

Unfortunately no. Fairmont's standpoint (for a while) has been that free night certs cannot be combined with xth night free promos.

Check out my follow up post just a couple below the one you quoted. The free nights appeared a couple of days after I met the spend and were dated March 11, which was exactly 7 days after I cleared the $3,000 threshold. So your rep was correct. No need to call in - they appeared in my FPC account with no call necessary. The system works exactly as the rep said. Here is my post:

I have two $25 dining certificates and four $25 breakfast certificates. How does one use them? Do I need to tell the restaurant/guest service in advance (at the time of making reservations or before ordering) or is it OK if tell them after I get the bill? Also, can these certificates be used for in room service?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Officially, you're supposed to inform the server upon being seated, but in practice you can have redeem them when settling the bill. Or if you're staying at the hotel, the easiest option is to have the front desk redeem the certs.

What if Nas6034 books 3+1 nights via the Amex offer and tries to use the B2G1 cert for a free 5th night added on? Try it. If Fairmont says YES, enjoy! If NO, oh well, Jasper2009 has told us so.

If using the 2 free night certs, is it likely that they would let me upgrade from a standard room? I am thinking of booking a stay but only want an oceanfront room so trying to decide if this offer is worth it. Of course I would pay the difference. Thanks.
