So these gift cards can be used only on flexiable rates? Like I noticed that Fairmont Peace Hotel is having the 40 percent black Friday specials. I am assuming I wont be able to use the gift card for that kind of booking?
Lol sorry I just noticed someone asked the same question. My bad...

Does purchasing a Fairmont gift card also earns status points with Accor when I use those gift cards for my stay at a Fairmont hotel?

Question about exchange rates and minimizing the FX conversion fees. I'm Canadian and have an upcoming stay in Mexico. My credit card is CAD but my reservation at the hotel is in MXN. Is there any advantage in purchasing gift cards in USD over CAD?
