The gift card promotion will be back next week, and it could be a great deal.

Fairmont’s Mother’s Day gift card sale

The major hotel chains sometimes sell discounted gift cards, which is a great way to lower the cost of hotel stays. At least twice a year, the company offers bonuses on gift card purchases. This year is no different, as there are two of these promotions around Mother's Day and Black Friday.

Between 2PM and 5PM on Wednesday, May 4, you will be able to buy a Fairmont e-gift card with a 20% bonus. Each person can only take advantage of the promotion once, and you can purchase up to $5,000 worth of gift cards under the offer, which will lead to a $1,000 bonus.

If you want to maximize the offer, you should load your shopping cart with a few gift cards. The shopping cart should reflect the correct bonus amount when you make a purchase.

You can buy gift cards in either currency. You can use the gift cards in other countries, but the conversion rates used for those purposes may be unfavorable.

You don't have to stay at a hotel to use a gift card for restaurant and spa purchases.

Is buying Fairmont gift cards with a bonus worth it?

You should think about converting cash into a less flexible currency. I think that the gift card offer from Fairmont is one of the most generous and flexible. There are a few thoughts.

  • If I were a Fairmont regular I’d absolutely take advantage of this offer, because getting a 20% bonus is a significant reward
  • Even beyond that, if I had a Fairmont stay planned in the next six or so months, I’d consider taking advantage of this
  • However, keep in mind that Fairmont has consistently offered this promotion twice a year for a long time, so there’s probably no need to buy gift cards for a stay beyond November 2022 (unless the total would be more than $5,000)

I would buy gift cards at that rate with any of my preferred hotel groups, because a 20% bonus is huge.

There will be a 20% bonus on gift card purchases on May 4, 2022. This is a great deal if you stay at any of the properties for any length of time. I will post again the day the promotion goes live.

Do you plan to use the gift card?
