Does anyone have any experience with booking the base room before getting the certificates and having FPC convert them to free nights afterwards?

Should be no problem at all. Free night and upgrade certs can be applied anytime between making the booking and the day of arrival (assuming the dates aren´t blacked out).

Hotels are generally quite receptive to allow FPC members to use free night certs, and upgrade certs.. subject to availability at time of reservation booking or change.

I think Miramar was 449 for a Fairmont room and I used 2 certs.

I just got the card, and see the certificates credits in my account for the Visa Card conferred Premier Status. If the certificates were issued on 1/1 this year, can I also expect them to post on 1/1 next year?
I'm planning to use them next January at the Fairmont Mayakoba, so it would be nice if they showed up right at the beginning of the year.

Once I apply a free night certificate to an existing room reservation, what happens if I need to cancel the reservation? (Let's assume the cancellation is early enough that there would be no penalty if it were a paid reservation). Does the certificate redeposit? Is there a fee? I am trying to determine whether it is better to apply certificates as soon as I receive them or wait until closer to the time of my trip in case something changes in my plans.

I've met my $12,000 dollar spend, I've had the card past my anniversary date, and my card has billed 12 times? Where should I be seeing my free night cert? I look online at my Fairmont account, but I don't see where a free night cert has been posted. Am I looking in the wrong place? When should my free night post and where would I find?
I did call Chase and they said that the certificate will post in 6-8 weeks. Maybe so, but such terms and conditions always state that, yet bonuses, free nights, and such, they always post immediately.
Just wondering if anyone has spend the $12,000 requirement for a free night, and did they receive their free night, and how long did it take? Thanks!
