Anyone heard anything about if this will be extended PAST 12/31/09? Of course we aren't going to see ANY measurable uptick in the economy by then, and certainly TRAVEL will still be off or worse Q1 and Q2 of next year.
When will they simply extend it?

This does work.....do not fear!
Just wanted to update everyone that this does work. I just checked in and no issues at all. $xxx.00 rate too! Thanks for this one. Have a couple of other stays booked as well. Apparently you don't need the employee code, but I would put it there just to provide an encouragement to people to post these kind of deals on FT in the future.
I am not a Fairmont employee and have no affiliation with Fairmont Hotels. Do not PM me to request a Booker ID. I obtain no personal gain from whichever Booker ID/Friend you decide to contact on this thread.
A few details: RATES and BOOKER ID's can not be posted publicly by Fairmont employees. There are Fairmont legal and T+C issues regarding this. Fairmont is encouraging Employees to promote this to their "FRIENDS" and family and offering incentives for doing so! There is a Fairmont employee on this forum (USER ID - nyx.t2t, the original Fairmont Employee on this thread) who you may want to PM and become friends with.
April 20, 2009 UPDATE: In response to a question emailed regarding stay credit:
Good afternoon,
That NFAF rate would qualify for Fairmont President's Club credit, but not for Airline miles.
Best Regards,

April 6, 2009 UPDATE: This rate also works for Swissotel and Ruffles Hotels. Although the NFAF code offers the discount online, we haven't had a member verify that the rate worked at check-in. If you have, please post or PM me.
CONFIRMED SUCCESSES/HOTEL REQUESTS
There have been numerous (Over 75 people via post and Private Message) successes for people using this code. NOT ONE PERSON has reported a failure with the use of this code with ANY Booker ID.

My sentiments too. I know most of us are all looking for bargains but people being demanding as if they have the right to on this rate is unacceptable.

If you want people to post these deals, use the employee booking code so the poster can get the credit. If you don't use a booker code I bet the person at reception puts in his/her number and gets the credit from Fairmont.

Funny thing, when I booked with a booker code, I was given the "possibility of paying for discount upgrades" screen, but not without it. I'll just take my chances, though, since I joined the PC.
Please read the very post in this thread... or my signature for that matter.

I am looking forward to my third Fairmont stay using the F&F code from Edmonton. I will be having nice night at the Queen Elizabeth in Montreal for back to school shopping. I got a great rate and then found an old room upgrade cert, I called and they moved us to a junior suite, we are thrilled.
Another jaunt I wouldn't have taken without the great deal, though as always I will be paying for all those little extrs whilst we stay to share the warmth.
Thanks again for sharing.

Thanks Edmonton2001 for your booker ID! We just stayed at the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth in Montreal over the weekend, and it was a really nice hotel!
When we were checking in, I mentioned that it was our anniversary, and if they happened to have any empty suites available as an upgrade. She said she didn't, but would talk to the manager. I didn't expect anything, but thought it doesn't hurt to ask.
Fast forward to a few hours later when we return to our room, and there is a plate of chocolate-covered strawberries and two bottles of water waiting for us! We were both very impressed!!
By the way, the hotel also had the new BMW bikes sitting in the lobby for borrowing.
Thanks again!

Thanks nyx.t2t! Just checked out of the Royal York in Toronto, and had a very pleasant stay. The rate was fantastic, you couldn't ask for more from a downtown hotel. Hopefully i'll be back there next week 
I'll be bouncing around TO for a few more weeks at least, and being able to stay in a nice hotel in a good location makes a HUGE difference.
