I read through a lot of the thread and apologize in advance if the answer is obvious. I am new to Fairmont and want to sign up for the card for an upcoming trip to Banff. The current credit card promotion does not make mention of any upgrade certificates - just 2 nights and free breakfast for 2 after $3k spend. Has the promotion changed or do the upgrade certificates get deposited into the account bc of the premier status upon approval?
I just returned from Banff for a conference and it was terrific. Reminds me of returning to Oxford University or a Harry Potter movie :-)
If you are coming from the States, the exchange rate won't hurt either. I found the price of food, drinks etc, even taking away the exchange rate bonus, reasonable for this level of property. Looking forward to returning.

https://www.loungeprogramenroll.com/fairmont/ - code FAIRMONT. The next pages will ask for personal details.
This is a very limited membership - two visits per year, and I'm not sure it allows guests. (I have another Lounge Club membership via the Chase Ritz card, and the language of that welcome letter refers to "You and your accompanying guests." The Fairmont letter does not, so I suspect the allowance is just for two solo entries.

Oddly enough...
Arrived home from work and there was a letter from Chase regarding the end of the Lounge Club benefit! Existing LC cards will work until expiry.

I'm wondering out loud if there will be an amenity to replace this.

New to Fairmont question on new card plus 10 nights at same time
My wife and I are planning 11 paid nights at Fairmont this summer. I understand this will give us premier status, with some certificates, but not free nights. Does it make sense to apply for the Fairmont CC before this stay, or wait for another time, so as to to not to "waste" a year of premier status?
I also have another large spend coming up for major dental work. Is it almost always better to put non-hotel items on an airline cc?

Nothing is wasted. If you already have Premier, you will get a Gold Upgrade certificate with the credit card.

11 nights spend on the card (at 5x) could be quite a few points towards a free night certificate or gift cards, plus meeting some of the $12K annual spend required for an anniversary free night.
General spend? There are lots of opinions at FT. First deciding on a rewards goal seems to be good advice - and the choices can follow from there. Cash back is an alternative to miles/points that many are happy with.

Southampton Fairmont online reservations is allowing 3 adults and 1 child 17 or younger in a Fairmont room w/2 queen beds.
Call Fairmont and see what they say.
May consider using your Room and/or Suite Upgrade Certificate on top of Free Room Certs!

Is the annual fee still waived for the first year? Or is this promotion over?
