Its a pretty solid deal but not GREAT. If you like the jacket and typically visit these spots it's a no brainer. Don't think me and the Mrs. will be going though. Hopefully some FT'ers can take advantage of it.

BSH ~$135/night equivalent
Yay, my first opportunity to bring a deal to everyone's attention.
It says rates from 179 with 3rd night free, but I have seen the lowest rate show up as $168. That gives an equivalent nightly rate of ~$135 over 3 nights. Better than the last minute rates as this would be upgradable.

Bookable this week for stays up to the end of May.

A reminder, before booking always check www.hotelscombined.com to see if you can get a better rate. If ones available call the presidents club, they will usually match it. Got a Gold Floor Room at Hotel Vancouver for $209/night (seems like a decent deal for Fairmont Gold) Price matched off Expedia.ca. Regular Fairmont Savers rate $270.

Yes just say what site its from (E.g. expedia.ca), the agent will put you on hold and see if they can pull up the same rate. If they can, they generally will match it.

After I saw your message, I called Fairmont Plat line to price match an April reservation that was cheaper on Otel.com. The rate on Otel.com was fully cancellable but required prepayment. When I talked to the agent, they said they would happily match the price BUT I had to now prepay my reservation and the rate would be non-cancellable. I thought this was odd since this is not the same T&C's as the other website, in fact, I was worse off by booking with Fairmont directly. After checking with his supervisor twice, he confirmed that it was policy that once a rate is price-matched, Fairmont requires prepayment and I cannot cancel. Is this others experience? Seems contrary to Fairmont's traditional position that they'd prefer you to book directly with them and that their site has the best prices.

FWIW, I never believe in any best rate guarantee crap from any hotel chain. They can always find an excuse to not honor it, or to make it useless.

Fairmont Platinum and Amex Fine Hotels and Resorts
Does anyone have experience booking through Amex to get the free breakfast for two at fairmont, but then combining with Platinum upgrades or free night certs. I've never used the Amex Fine Hotels benefit, but recently in Maui, couple at next table had free breakfast every day becuase of their Amex platinum beneifit.

AFAIK the hotel would be allowed to not offer the AMEX FHR benefits on those nights on which you´re using the free night cert (as officially, it only applies to the room rate), but I´ve never heard of any case where a hotel refused to offer the benefits for the entire stay.
This is one of the great features of FPC: certs can be used on pretty much any rate (except for GRGD)

Amex Fine Hotels and Fairmont
Below is Amex offering for Savoy Fairmont. How does the Amex program work? Do you pay Amex duirectly or they just book reservation, and you then call Fairmont to request additional nights or upgrades with Platinum benefits. The breakfast benefit is a great benefit and most fairmonts (ie Maui/Bermuda) overprice the breakfast buffet.
Has anyone ever used a Friends and Family Rate, but then added the Amex benefits?
Can you book a reservation and then call Amex to simply register it?
American Express Platinum Card Member Benefits: Savoy, London, United Kingdom
Guaranteed room upgrade at time of booking - subject to availability
Continental breakfast for two
Guaranteed 12 noon check-in
Guaranteed 4pm check-out
