I just got my cert, so, since my anniversary date was in May, I can get a regular cert for spending 12k or a 2/28 cert for spending 6k before 8/14, right?
It's too bad. I liked this card, although the points never seemed to add up much. Still, I have about 60,000, I believe. That's one night at the Kea Lani, and maybe a $150 gc.

Andaz is cat6 : 25,000. You will have 2 night + 10k left over That's why I think Fairmont points are bad!

So that would be if I transfer the UR points to Hyatt points, right? Because I saw less than 2 nights if I try booking the room using UR points.
Although in the past, I have seen where I could book a room with UR points, where none were available using Hyatt points.
I was hoping to use my 2 Fairmont certs and add 2 or 3 nights for a stay at the Kea Lani. Looks like I'd be better off with a nice stay at the Andaz (which has better food, anyway). I can always use the Fairmont certs for a weekend staycation in Sonoma or SF.

Got a great room at the Kea Lani with my 2 free nights sign-up bonus, about 4 years ago. Of course, those are all suites. But I did get ocean view.
Had a really nice room in SF, too.

It's hard to justify putting $6k on the card for a stay cert that expires 2/28/17. My last Fairmont stay was in Singapore where they upgraded me to a penthouse suite using the suite upgrade cert. However, I have no plans to go back there, or the nicer Fairmont properties in Hawaii or Canada any time soon. As a local, the SF or Sonoma Fairmonts aren't that appealing....

Has anyone determined whether those of us who have never had a CSP would still get the bonus when the card gets converted?
