I just got my cert, so, since my anniversary date was in May, I can get a regular cert for spending 12k or a 2/28 cert for spending 6k before 8/14, right?
It's too bad. I liked this card, although the points never seemed to add up much. Still, I have about 60,000, I believe. That's one night at the Kea Lani, and maybe a $150 gc.

That 60K will be 60K URs which could be 2-3 nights or more at a Hyatt.

Thanks for the info. Would that include, say, the Andaz Maui?
I suppose I can go look this up. I do have an Ink card with UR points.
I'm guessing that would be 2 nights at the Andaz, tops.

Andaz is cat6 : 25,000. You will have 2 night + 10k left over That's why I think Fairmont points are bad!

So that would be if I transfer the UR points to Hyatt points, right? Because I saw less than 2 nights if I try booking the room using UR points.
Although in the past, I have seen where I could book a room with UR points, where none were available using Hyatt points.
I was hoping to use my 2 Fairmont certs and add 2 or 3 nights for a stay at the Kea Lani. Looks like I'd be better off with a nice stay at the Andaz (which has better food, anyway). I can always use the Fairmont certs for a weekend staycation in Sonoma or SF.

I think I tried that once, and didn't get an update, either. Not available, or whatever.
Got a great room at the Kea Lani with my 2 free nights sign-up bonus, about 4 years ago. Of course, those are all suites. But I did get ocean view.
Had a really nice room in SF, too.

I used a cert in Sonoma on NYE one year, so I was lucky just to get a room.

It's hard to justify putting $6k on the card for a stay cert that expires 2/28/17. My last Fairmont stay was in Singapore where they upgraded me to a penthouse suite using the suite upgrade cert. However, I have no plans to go back there, or the nicer Fairmont properties in Hawaii or Canada any time soon. As a local, the SF or Sonoma Fairmonts aren't that appealing....

Has anyone determined whether those of us who have never had a CSP would still get the bonus when the card gets converted?

Chase does not give a signup bonus for card conversions.

Better apply before August 15th to get the CSP bonus. Maybe even the 1st of August to be safe.

And then PC the Fairmont CSP to a Freedom.

That's not the way Chase works. Even if you are converted to the CSP, you can still apply later and get the signup bonus.

Can you apply for a card (CSP in this case) you're holding? If not might as well get it now.

As far as I can tell, they don't appear to have a restriction on that, but I can't provide first-hand confirmation.
