Fairmont e-Giftcard 20% bonus May 10, 2019
I haven't seen it promoted on social media anywhere yet, but I clicked on an old link to last May's 20% bonus promotion and it seems that the terms have been changed to indicate that the promotion is running again this Friday, May 10th.

It is on social media. It popped up on my Facebook news feed on the Fairmont page around lunchtime yesterday. But I have noticed in the past year or so, that I don't always see everything posted by the organizations I'm following.

has anybody used these to pay for online prepay bookings? how does one go about it?
or i guess an email to hotel requesting specific prepaid rate, and providing ecard details? would like to use for upcoming stays in this year. d |
You cannot use a gift card to prepay a booking. The hotel should refund your prepayment upon checkout when you go to use the gift card. Admittedly, I can only think of 2 stays where I have ever booked a prepaid rate, but in each case, the hotel had no issue processing a refund. Just be aware that if the hotel is in a different currency than your credit card, you may lose a few percentage points on the spread that your bank applies on charges vs. refunds.

Thanks for the heads up! Perfect timing for an upcoming stay this wknd at BSH once I max out my $1k of LE certs. |

I would suggest bringing more than just $1,000 worth of LE certs to Banff. In my past stays, I've been able to go well over that limit. At BSH and CLL in particular, I try to apply $1,000 per day, and then use Fairmont certs for the balance upon checkout.

Ok - thanks for the heads up. I will just have to try and make sure to not hit up the same employee on consecutive days at the Gold front desk.
I think the most I've applied on a single stay was $8,000 at the Chateau Lake Louise, and I then used the regular Fairmont certificates from the 20% bonus promo to pay the balance on checkout. I normally write my name, room number and the date on each certificate in the batch, and just leave them with the agent to apply, and get them to send up a statement to the room showing the certs applied. That way I don't have to wait around while they process them. |
Make sure you select your desired currency (USD/CAD). I just bought $2k worth of gift cards in CAD. Lol |
In the recent past, this promo has been running every 6 months : May and November. Has anybody heard word about whether it will be active this month?
|
Usually Black Friday for a few hours. Haven't heard anything yet.

Not every May and November. The fall promotion is most predictable on Black Friday in November
