Discerning travelers have a new option when it comes to luxury travel with the first ever credit card from Fairmont Hotels & Resorts. Today, Chase Card Services, a division of JPMorgan Chase & Co. [NYSE: JPM] and Fairmont Hotels & Resorts introduced the all-new Fairmont Visa Signature Card, which offers cardmembers access to exclusive amenities and rewards. The Card delivers the same luxury service consistently offered by Fairmont and gives cardmembers more ways to get the most out of their stays at Fairmont destinations worldwide.
Cardmembers will be eligible to receive two complimentary night stays complete with two breakfast dining certificates at any Fairmont property worldwide, after making $1000 in purchases within the first three months of obtaining the Card. Fairmont Visa Signature cardmembers will also earn Fairmont Rewards with all of their purchases, which they can redeem for Fairmont stays worldwide while enjoying no foreign transaction fees on international purchases.
The Fairmont Visa Signature Card automatically upgrades cardmembers to Fairmont President’s Club® Premier status upon Card approval. Members of Fairmont President’s Club, the brand’s complimentary guest loyalty program, receive personalized service and unique benefits to create a seamless travel experience designed for their interests and preferences at whichever Fairmont location they stay.
Existing President’s Club Premier and Platinum members who are approved for the Fairmont Visa Signature Card will enjoy additional and exclusive benefits throughout the year. In addition, Premier and Platinum members who take advantage of the exclusive Charter Member Offer, available through July 31, 2012, will receive an additional two Fairmont Gold Floor upgrade certificates and an extra $150 USD in Fairmont dining certificates.
“Today there are many choices for luxury travelers and as hoteliers we need to be creative in developing experiences and enhancements our guests truly value,” said Jennifer Fox, President, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts. “By providing customized and thoughtful offerings at our landmark hotels like The Savoy in London, The Plaza in New York, and Shanghai’s Fairmont Peace Hotel, our guests are able to see the world through Fairmont, and our new Card allows them to visit any of our hotels and earn rewards toward future stays.”
Cardmembers can choose to use their Fairmont Rewards for redemption options such as future Fairmont stays, gift cards and donations to charitable causes.
