I understand that fairmont will not apply it for any future application after jan 2018, but we had been on the fairmont plat5 code for past years. And as current and past amex plat cardholder for years, we are entitled to the amex plat benefits when we are in good standing and followed amex or fairmont rules for past 2017.

Otherwise why would we have gone out of ways in 2017 to make sure we have min nights at faitmont? Why would we have kept the amex plat card? Why would we have paid the amex plat card fees of $700 at the end of 2017, then a few weeks later amex / fairmont cancelled the benefits and now tell us to get lost?
phone Amex and cancel card. They refund the annual fee on prorated basis, but I would confirm that at the time you call.
