Is that the Moleskin book to take notes or the Moleskin with empty compartments?I like the USB "key" thing, it's something different than I would normally expect to get from a FF program, and it will come in fairly useful (not to mention it's nice and compact). ^

Just a followup, the wife tried to order her 2012 Plat Passions certs today (after ordering a set (2011?, 2012?) in late Jan 2012). It would not allow her to choose anymore Passions for 2012 as it said she already had 4. So I guess in fact you cannot have 2 sets of Plat Passions certs at once. Which leads me to remind you all: Don't forget to order your 2012 Plat Passions certs by May 31st, 2012 otherwise you will love the ability to choose them for that year........................just like the T&Cs say!!!

Lo and behold I received my 2012 FPC Plat package in the mail this afternoon as well. The Moleskine book is the EXACT same as last year's, all blank pages with a few quotes thrown in on a few pages.
I like the USB "key" thing, it's something different than I would normally expect to get from a FF program, and it will come in fairly useful (not to mention it's nice and compact). ^

I just got mine today.

Ok, I don't feel so bad then for not knowing what the key was for! I asked Fairmont on Twitter and they told me what it is. Nice touch but not more than that. So, when do we get the Passion Benefits?

The same restriction was in place last year. Even says so in your own post.

Received a nice sized package today with the robe, and the two certs for the Local Dish & the Spa manicure or pedicure session. My National Geographic subscription was not anywhere to be seen in the package (not even listed in the letter as the fourth item chosen). My guess is that the magazine will take a while to make it.
The bath robe is HUGE and, please correct me if I am wrong, it appears as a "step down" from the ones at the hotel...or is it my imagination?
I am very worried of devaluation with the new points per night system because of the new credit card!! Any comments?

Great to hear they are already arriving. Can you let me know when you submitted it?
I'm hoping the fairmont cc doesn't result in any changes to the status perks. It looks like the qty of points needed for ovation certs is fairy high and the alternative is gift cards.
The one risk is the free night after 12k in spends... that could take up a part of the 'fairmont rooms' that are available for the free night certificates.

I do not remember when exactly I place my order. But it was very early, maybe in the first three days that it was allowed. Hope this helps.

Last year the same restriction is advertised, however from experience the FPC member can go back and choose the balance of Passions Benefits, without having to select all at once. This was pointed out by Shenanigans last year.
This year, I chose all of the 4 benefits at once without leaving to chance to go back and select the balance this year. Namely, with the different screen that appeared, I didn't want to run the risk where I only pick i.e. 2 benefits, and relinquish 2 benefits because I failed to select.
TravelGuy1965.. seems like the Robe isn't flimsy from your description. Sounds like a satisfying choice?
