I got a letter from Fairmont (signed by someone from Fairmont and someone from Chase) saying I've earned the free nights (even before the first statement close), and that the certificates will be added to my Fairmont account online. But it hasn't actually posted there yet.
Anyone have any experience with this and know how long it takes to post once you've gotten the letter? Should I try to get my statement closed and pay it off ASAP, or does that not affect it?
