Got my Premiere certificates just now (1PM Central). Didn't show earlier, so they must be loading them in at different times.... Thanks, Fairmont! Going to try to get in 2 stays to get the extra certificates as per the email I received a week ago...
"Your Fairmont President’s Club membership will continue until July 1, 2018. On July 2, 2018 you will receive a Silver membership with Le Club AccorHotels.
As a gesture of our gratitude for your loyalty through this transition, you will be eligible to receive as a bonus another full set of Fairmont President’s Club e-certificates in July. This will be in addition to the e-certificates you receive in March.* All you need to do is have two qualifying stays with Fairmont, Raffles or Swissôtel between January 1 and July 1, 2018."
Not everyone got this email, apparently.

i'm surprised that many of you taking the food experience ( for me it was always hit and miss dinner ) and many are not taking the Suite upgrade !!
For most of us, the lost of certs is a big lost but again looking at all the choices in benefit it's seem that the room upgrade and the Suite upgrade are not the favorite one.
i understand that most of us with two nights before july 1 will received another set of certs but i still think the Suite upgrade his the best reward value and the 100$ dinner .
my 2 cents on it / cheers

I got this email on Jan 21st. Go back and look around then and see if you have an email from Fairmont Hotels & Resorts called [first name], A Bonus for You. It's buried in that email; you might of just trashed it...

What was your 2nd selection? The $50 gift card was sent out 1-2 weeks later last year, maybe longer. I think there was a thread if you want to look for it.

The Savoy
I called the Plat desk in Moncton as soon as my certs posted (March 2 BTW). I was "on hold" for a long time but I was able to score The Savoy for Valentine's Day 2019! I used the opportunity to inquire about the expiry date of the add'l certs to be granted on or after July 1 (with 2 qualifying stays in 2019). The answer is (also) Feb 28, 2019. Use it or lose it..............no extensions IMO.

Yes, I used to be granted Platinum through private banking, had an inkling it would be gone under Accor so in Jan 2017 entered PLAT5 which was accepted.
I could select the extra benefits on March 1st but no certs, like many, and my status said Platinum on March 1st. I am now Club level even though I stayed 10 nights (at least) in 2017 which should make me Premier at least.
Don't get why I was downgraded to Club.

Also many thanks margarita girl, I was going to contact about missing email (assume it wasn't sent because I was coded as "club member"), but after some searching I did find the relevant bit on the website - will amend a travel plan and get those extra certs!

Thanks for the replies, I had contacted the 1st about the missing certs, they replied they were doing them in batches. Then today the downgrade to Club, with the platinum benefits extra $100 cert still there (I realize the email gift card I also selected takes a little longer).
Sent them another message so will wait and see.

They never gave me a reason for my "downgrade" (I had cheekily suggested it was an IT error in my email to them). Seriously, just send a quick email to the address I posted above - not even 10 hour response time and all was fixed!
