When Air Canada changed the rules for business class awards (raising the number of points required from 30,000 to 40,000) they allowed members a one-year grace period to take a J-Class flight on the "old" point requirement. This was the decent thing to do because we earned those points with certain expectations.

All very odd
I was going to write that I have noticed exactly the same thing, but now you have deleted your thread I'm left wondering if you have uncovered some awful secret.

Sorry
Sorry about that. I wasn't sure if the code I mentioned was something pertaining to a particular group etc., and so became uneasy that I might be disclosing something I wasn't supposed to. That's why I deleted it. I didn't mean to suggest anything else.
Yeah, I still don't know what it is for, or what it means. But now at least I know I'm not alone
Sorry for the confusion.

It is used to trigger account promotions - I know of two relating to AMEX - one is a promotion that AMEX Platinum members can sign up for, which provides an upgrade to Fairmont Platinum after 5 nights instead of the usual (20?)

edmonton2001 - I assume that FPC does not discriminate against Amex Centurion members in favour of Platinum card holders; care to comment?

That is interesting. I am an an Amex Centurion member based in the UK who recently asked edmonton2001 in another thread if there was any way I could get FPC status any quicker and this information was not volunteered.

There is a Canadian Amex Centurion promo code that offers instant Platinum membership. I wonder if they will verify that with Amex. I signed up my wife and she got Platinum instantly.^

Wow! Very cool. That has some significant value to it! (Well over 1000 dollars if you plan it right).

Yeah, too bad about the $5,000 initiation. I have 5 more days left to decide... but my wife & I already have FPC Plat. so it's not as valuable...

Instant Premier or Platinum status - does anyone know a code or way to do it?
I'm staying at a Fairmont and would love to have upgraded status. Does anyone know how to do this quick and easy? Thank you so much!
