In the true spirit of the upcoming Labor Day holiday, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts is serving up an amazing advancement opportunity for members of Fairmont President�s Club (FPC), the hotel company�s complimentary guest loyalty program. From September 1 - December 31, 2004, the company's Fast Track with Fairmont campaign will reward 100 lucky FPC members with an upgrade to Premier status each month.

Club members receiving a Fairmont �promotion� will enjoy the added benefits of the program�s Premier tier for the remainder of 2004 and throughout all of 2005. These include a complimentary third night on a three-night stay, access to an exclusive FPC reservation concierge, two room and suite upgrades, two $50 dining certificates, and complimentary access to Willow Stream The Spas at Fairmont.

The Fast Track with Fairmont promotion will also provide any upgraded members with a highly sought after service - complimentary high-speed wired and wireless Internet access during their stay. Available at all Fairmont properties worldwide, non-FPC members are normally charged $13.95 for this service for a 24-hour time period, while Club members of the program receive it for $9.95. This additional bonus will allow business or corporate travelers to be as productive on the road as they are in the office, since Fairmont, on a comparable basis, offers more bandwidth than any other hotel chain.

As the brand�s guest recognition program, Fairmont President�s Club is designed to provide frequent guests of Fairmont with certain benefits and privileges that fulfill their travel needs. New members enjoy standard benefits such as bonus airline miles, complimentary local calls, free TaylorMade golf club rentals, a complimentary Points.com membership ($20 value) and savings on door-to-door luggage delivery services from Sports Express - incentives that easily surpass any other program at an entry level. Additionally, FPC members receive a quarterly newsletter full of special offers, discounts and features on Fairmont�s signature packages and events.

Fairmont President�s Club program is complimentary to join and guests can enroll online at www.fairmont.com/fpc/premiergiveaway , toll-free at 1-800-663-7575 or at any one of Fairmont�s 43 hotels or resorts worldwide. Fast Track with Fairmont is open to new and existing Fairmont President�s Club members and member upgrades will be selected at random.
