Fairmont Sweepstakes & Promotions

Fairmont Hotels is running a couple of summer social media promotions lately. The first is a chance to win a seven night stay for 2 at a Fairmont Hotel and a $400 gift card for spa, golf or dining. Just simply like Fairmont's facebook page and sign up for an entry daily on their facebook page here for a chance to win. I suppose this is very similar to the Seven Tickets to your paradise sweepstakes currently being run by Hilton described here.

The second promotion is the Fairmont Social Media Day on June 30. Just for spending $20 at one of the participating Fairmont location restaurants, you get a complimentary appetizer from 3pm to closing. And if you revisit that restaurant before August 31st, you'll get a one-time 25% discount so sign up today!

Chase Fairmont Card

Chase just bagged another one! That's right, Chase just collected yet another respectable hotel chain in its massive arsenal of reward-rich credit card offerings. The Fairmont chain is a fairly upscale hotel chain with a decent number of locations around the world but generally more heavily focused on North America with just a smattering of hotels in the rest of the world.

The Fairmont visa card itself (application here) actually offers pretty similar benefits as the current Chase Hyatt card with two complimentary nights at any Fairmont hotel worldwide! To best the Hyatt offer however, they even toss in complimentary breakfast for two on those 2 nights, all for just spending $1000 in the first 3 months!

Fairmont Le Château Frontenac

The most striking building of the Quebec skyline, towering over Vieux-Québec, is the Château Frontenac, currently branded under the Fairmont banner.  Opened in 1893, the hotel design is in the style of French châteaus, targeting wealthy clients.
