My wife and I just recently had the same experience as myb821. We both received our cards last August and only have the Premier status that comes with the card. We just booked 4 free nights Boston. We were able to use our Suite upgrade certificate(s) to get upgraded to one of their suites. I don't know if they'll pull one or two certificates. But the stay is all under one reservation number with just one check-in/check-out indicated.
Very quick and painless reservation process. The rep know exactly what we wanted to do, and what he had to do to make it happen. Looking forward to our stay with excited anticipation. |
Same experience. Very easy to combine the 4 nights between two of us.

Plan on using the free night certs but upon check in could I provide a different credit card to charge the incidentals to? I'll have the Chase Fairmont Visa with me but would rather put the other charges on a different card.

Are there any travel programs or CCs, besides Chase's, that you can really ramp up points for Fairmont?
|
nope only the chase offers fm points.
|
Will you lose your Fairmont points of you cancel the Fairmont CC?

Yes. They're not technically Fairmont points - they only exist with Chase.

So the points accrued are not credited into your FPC account?

Since Fairmont doesn't have a points program: no. The points program is run by Chase. Therefore it wouldn't surprise me if they cancelled your points if you cancelled your CC.
Are the free night certificates you get from Chase credited into your FPC account or does it remain in your Chase account until you redeem it? Can it be redeem towards an ovation certificate? |

Fairmont's President Club is not a points-based loyalty program? Sorry but I'm not familiar with their program.

Yes, the free night certs from Chase are deposited into your FPC account and basically are no different than the free night certs you'd earn as a Platinum member. Free night certs have nothing to do with ovation certs. Ovation certs essentially are vouchers for a free night in a particular room category. As you'll probably know you can redeem your Fairmont Chase points for ovation certs (see the first few posts of this thread for details). |

I'm not a frequent guest of their properties so the main appeal of this card would be the free night certs. Any points earned can be redeemed towards an ovation cert before you cancel the card although I may not have enough. |

They should revamp their program to make it similar to other hotel chains and build more loyalty among their customers.

Their uniqueness is what sets them apart. |
