Just got another survey from Fairmont. This time the reward is 15$ eVisa.
This is a bit more interesting. They are contemplating changing their FPC program and invited me to compare their prototype FPC programs with Hyatt and Marriott.
They are proposing new tier structures like:
Bronze: Entry level
Gold: 10 nights, 5 stays, or $2500 spend per year
Platinum: 20 nights, 10 stays, or $5000 spend per year
Diamond: 40 nights, 20 stays, or $10000 spend per year
And they threw around different combinations of benefits for each tier. Then asked me which program I would choose if I had to stay in a city with the choices of Hyatt, Marriott, and the 2 prototype FPC programs listed.
The new benefits considered include:
Complimentary breakfast
10% Spa discount
Complimentary airport transfer
Complimentary daily shoeshine
Complimentary yearlong lease to a BMW car
Invite one other person to matching status
