Currently looking into booking a three night weekend getaway in NYC since I have a complimentary night certificate with my platinum card to use before February.
My question is, the plaza seems to have special T&C when using a complimentary night certificate that makes it sound like you can only use it if booking direct through Fairmont...
ADDITIONAL TERMS FOR THE PLAZA: only one Certificate may be redeemed per stay at The Plaza Hotel, New York City, USA. In addition, a Certificate redeemed at The Plaza Hotel may not be combined with any other room-type certificates (suite upgrade, room upgrade, etc.), any other certificates offered in connection with this program, nor with any other Fairmont or third-party packages and promotions. Certificate may only be applied with advance notice provided to Fairmont President’s Club Concierge at the time of reservation and when three consecutive nights are booked as part of a stay.
So this sounds like if I book three nights at Amex FHR, then call Fairmont to use the certificate on one of them, I will be SOL?
