Here are some of the fantastic features available to cardholders.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Terrific_Sign_On_Bonus\">Terrific Sign On Bonus<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With the Fairmont Visa Signature<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Card, you earn 2 Complimentary Nights after you make $3,000 in purchases within your first 3 months of account opening. This is a huge bonus that can easily be worth $1,500 if you redeem your two free certificates at a premium location.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"No_Annual_Fee_for_First_Year\">No Annual Fee for First Year<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Yes, you get those two complimentary nights with $0 introductory annual fee the first year. There is an annual fee of $95 after the first year.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Keep_Earning_Complimentary_Nights\">Keep Earning Complimentary Nights<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>After earning your first two complimentary nights, you can continue to earn a free stay certificate annually when you spend $12,000 per year on the Fairmont Visa Signature<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Card. Again, for those who use the card for their regular purchases, this is an achievable target.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Increase_to_Platinum_Status\">Increase to Platinum Status<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You will earn 1 credit toward Platinum Status after spending $7,500 on your card. You can earn up to two stay credits per year, which will help you move from Premier Status, which you receive automatically upon approval of your account, to Platinum Status, which earns you special perks and rewards. If you are already a Premier (you are just for holding the card) or Platinum member, you receive upgrades such as dining certificates when you stay at Fairmont hotels.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Build_Up_Fairmont_Rewards_Quickly\">Build Up Fairmont Rewards Quickly<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Not only will you receive complimentary nights at Fairmont Hotels on account anniversary (if minimum spend\u00a0is met) and as a signup bonus, you will earn Fairmont Rewards with every purchase you make. You earn 5 points for every $1 that you spend at Fairmont using the card, 2 points for every dollar spent on airline purchases, car rentals, transit purchases, and commuting charges, and 1 point for every dollar spent elsewhere in all other categories.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Great_for_International_Travel\">Great for International Travel<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Because the Chase Fairmont Visa Signature<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Card has no foreign transaction fees, it's a great choice for international travel. Standard reward rates apply for any international purchases using the card.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Conclusion\">Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While Fairmont doesn't offer the same number of destinations as some co-branded cards, its destinations are as exclusive and unique as they get. Fairmont Hotels and Resorts offer luxury stays on a global level. With the Fairmont Visa Signature<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> Card, you can quickly earn rewards like complimentary nights at any Fairmont hotel. For fans of Fairmont properties, and those wanting the flexibility of so many luxury destinations, this is a great card.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ftoc\"><div id=\"toc_container\" class=\"toc_light_blue no_bullets\"><p class=\"toc_title\">Page Contents<\/p><ul class=\"toc_list\"><li><a href=\"#Terrific_Sign_On_Bonus\">Terrific Sign On Bonus<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#No_Annual_Fee_for_First_Year\">No Annual Fee for First Year<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Keep_Earning_Complimentary_Nights\">Keep Earning Complimentary Nights<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Increase_to_Platinum_Status\">Increase to Platinum Status<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Build_Up_Fairmont_Rewards_Quickly\">Build Up Fairmont Rewards Quickly<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Great_for_International_Travel\">Great for International Travel<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#Conclusion\">Conclusion<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Note: The is no longer accepting new applications.
