I have no experience with Fairmont hotels, but I'm thinking of adding this card to my next churn, and I want to make sure I really understand the third night benefit before I apply. I've read through the last couple of pages, and my understanding is that in addition to the two nights that come with the crdit card sign on bonus, I can get a third night thanks to the premier status that comes with cardmembership. When does that third night post? I understand the status year starts in March, and that new certs for premier members post in March. Does it make sense to delay the application until Jan or February so that my 2 card certs post around the same time as the premier night? Or will the third night post whenever Fairmont recognizes my status? I'm planning on using the certs on a long weekend getaway, and three night are definitely better than two.
