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.

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'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.

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.

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?

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.
