Great promotion if you are able to find a nice low qualifying rate. I checked my date for the Springs, and my CAA/AAA rate (with $50 credit per stay) was not included on eligible rates for the Amex promo. Plus the prices were about double on the qualifying Amex rates.

I'll give JPL a try for the following weekend as well.

Edit: JPL and the Amex qualifying rate is much higher than the $100 difference I could find. When booking the promotion, check for Alberta Resident Rate and CAA/AAA rate, as it could be a greater savings.

From the T&C:
Qualifying purchases for this offer: To be eligible for a $100 (CAD) statement credit, a purchase of $500 (CAD) or more must be made at a participating Fairmont Hotels & Resorts property during the offer period and charged to the registered Card. Qualifying purchases include room cost and any charges billed directly to the room.

I may have missed it but I don't see anything about "qualifying rates." As long as a charge of more than $500 from a participating Fairmont shows up on your Amex statement, you should be good to go.

I don't see anything about targeted promos neither.. Just misunderstood qualifying rates stated on the email.. So I signed up my gold Amex on the promo just in case and ill charge my upcoming Banff Springs stay onto Amex and see what happens. Sounds from the message I received after signing up, just charge $500 and receive the $100 statement credit. It's as easy as that.

I've got 5 Amex cards between my wife and I. I may try another stay at Jasper Park Lodge.. So. Ill sign up my wife's gold Amex and see if we can shake another one of these discounts off the tree.

I think any rate qualifies. Even if you spend 500$ in a Fairmont restaurant it should work.
Got the offer with my Amex Plat.

Ha, I even wonder if $500 GIFT CARD purchase qualifies, not that I'm interested in trying

haldol Oct 4, 2013 7:25 pm

Thanks! Will be at Fairmont Tremblant next week :)

Why do I see this offer only here?...

Somehow they'll track stays.

Interesting, I signed up on my gold Amex and the Plat email for the offer shows up in my inbox this afternoon. I'm wondering if it'll work to sign up on all of our 5 Amexes and do a mattress run.

Just got booked gold floor at BSH and into a suite. I can see this promo getting addicting.

I have an upcoming stay at the Fairmont Waterfront. 1 free and 1 paid night. Consequently, far from $500.

Would it work to spend whatever is to be spent on the room charge and then add a gift card upon check out to reach $500?

The T&C states whatever charges on the room shall be included. The charge to Amex is not broken down based on my experience. So it should work.

If you want to be absolutely sure, you can contact Amex directly since its their promotion.

If you are able to buy GC and charge them to room, it should be ok.
Not sure the hotel will let you do that, however.

Was thinking of hitting up Fairmont Tremblant in December - decent incentive.
