After 8 years on FT, I've studied this forum, learned a lot and posted here with pleasure. Now i'd like to give a little something back, with the blessing of our mods and Four Seasons. I've never really published anything for clients here, but FS came out with the below promotion for us FSPP and I figured i'd play around with in the social media world and see what shakes out, with a goal of actually doing a little extra good.

For every three published rate reservations you book at any Four Seasons Hotel or Resort worldwide for travel through March 31, 2012 earns a USD100.00 Visa Gift Card. There is no limit to the number of cards you can earn in the promotion and the stays do not all have to be in your name nor do they all have to be at the same property. Friends, Family, Business Associates, your boss.... they all qualify as long as you direct them to me and they check-in before 31 March 2012.

This is on top of the usual Preferred Partner value offered on every Four Seasons published rate reservation (which includes all promotions you see on the Four Seasons website) and is discussed extensively HERE

Here is the kicker, if you live in some far off land and won't make use of the gift card or are simply not interested or don't plan 3 stays before March 31st, i've arranged to donate the surplus earned to a local food bank here in Canada. So 30 bookings can bring $1000.00 of needed supplies for a Food Bank. ^

So if you are lurking here, its time to join and send me PM! Unpleased with FHR? Send me a PM! You can either enjoy a little something extra yourself after you are back from your hotel stays or pay it forward to a person in need. I won't judge you either way

Cool! ^

Just curious, which are the cheapest FS properties (generally speaking)?

Unfortunately I don´t have any vacation time during the next months.

so FS is giving FSPP $100 for every 3, and youre passing it on? ^^ and adding a charity option. ^

does anyone you know have vacation time?

florence is only city i included, others are cheaper
also no ski properties, which are cheap off season

Moderator note:

ABG discussed this with the forum mods and me before posting. We're trialing this thread. We give permission to the other Travel Agents who post in this forum to post here should they, too, have an offer specific to FTers. We don't want the forum filled with commercial offers, but neither do we want to deny FTers special opportunities created by other FTers. Should this work out, terrific! Should it lead to concerns about making the forum too commercial, we'll close the thread. We feel it is worth a good faith try.

Me? Know people? You mean there´s an outside world?

Thanks a lot for the list!^ BKK also tends to be quite affordable after 3rd night free promo. There definitely are some interesting Four Seasons properties out there, but either there weren´t (m)any where I recently went (NZ, Australia, Israel, South Africa, Canada) or it´s hard to justify paying the rate (standard room usually is 2x-3x more expensive than what I pay for a suite at a Fairmont hotel)

note the date for the list, i did it for FS aviara/scottsdale timeshare owners, posted on TUG. did not include cities (except florence) or ski properties.

ABG

To be clear... its one or the other, but since most people probably don't have 3 hotel stays planned in the next 70 odd days I'm happy to pool the bookings and donate the value (will even post pics for all the naysayers!). So 30 individual bookings from 30 different people will generate $1000.00 donation

Thanks to Mods for giving this a try out... my first social media experient I guess.

hey Carol, I (travel agent) had read that FS had sold the Nevis property (beautiful, spent my honeymoon there). Is it still a FS? I'd love to return. Please send PM, so I won't miss it. Thanks, ah

Kage, where are you finding those rates for punta mita? I looked around this morning and I'm not seeing anything close to that. I was thinking about surprising my wife with a little three or four day getaway

Kagehitokiri

again, note the date and explanation
you will find discussion in 'best FS promo recap' thread i started

FS has pulled ratecards
the new site used to have starting rates for promos, but they pulled that too

bump - 10 days left, and another ^ to ABG

$255 hangzhou (after 3rd nt free)


-- does this qualify for all the FSPP benefits?

1stClassFamily

What is FSPP? Has Four Season started a loyalty program also?

Jasper2009

Four Seasons Preferred Partners: travel agents cooperating with FS who can get you additional benefits at FS hotels when booking through them (similar to Virtuoso) Most FS promos on the website (e.g. 3rd night free) can be combined with the FSPP benefits.
