Made my picks. Went for the $100 dining and an additional Suite Upgrade.

My SO and I enjoy a "year end review" (she hates when I call it that) weekend every December in banff using certificates. It is really amazing, and we probably spend $2-3K above the certificates anyway, so it is good for Fairmont too.

I went for the $100 certificate and Local Dinning experience for 2. It makes me wonder, are we going to have a next year to look forward to with FPC...

Has anyone who selected the $50 USD e-gift card received the email containing the e-gift card code ?

Mine came in on Mar 1 2017. Might take a few days as they roll the new year out. Picked the suite upgrade (I stay at Fairmont lots) and the $100 cert. Last year I chose room upgrade and suite upgrade. As you can probably tell I didn't use much of the room upgrades because they're almost f-ing useless. That's another platinum fail. Missed out on an extra $100 last year!

Anyone receive the $50 eGift Card yet? I have a stay starting tomorrow, was hoping to use it. Want to make sure it's not just me who hasn't received.
Looking at last year, I received mine on 3/10

With the local dining experience (where it isn't just a cash or entree credit), is there a net $0 bill provided and is an additional gratuity expected?

with any sort of freebie or discount on the bill, I always leave an appropriate gratuity based on the full amount to the wait staff. Its just courtesy.
