Hope you checked blackout dates and availability.
If you're so negative about this why are you so ecstatic about the living social deal? Or is it only because you didn't pay for any of your living social deals?
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.

imo the living social deal is nor worth that much anymore as it is 95 $ a year and 12,000 spending a year which I value as 2.2 cpp minus 1.0 cpp is 1.2 cpp lost x 12,000 is 144$ so that is 240 $ a year not so great

I'm not negative at all, but if someone if is opening a cc for a specific trip I'd hope they do their due diligence (blackouts dates, capacity controls, etc)

There's a big difference of a lifetime of free nights in a suite (with free scotch/massage/rounds of golf with lessons/gift cards for Saks, itunes, and Fairmont, etc) versus 2 free standard room nights that are good for one year.  Additionally the points system on this cc is downright awful.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

The credit card upgrades you to premier automatically which also has a suite upgrade and if you spend 12000 a year you get a free night

Didn't realize Premier gets a suite, that's nice.
But $12,000 is better spent for signup bonuses or on GCs with Ink that will earn several hotel nights nicer and with more choices than the very limited amount that Fairmont has.

Same last name shouldn't be a problem. Often they didn't even look at my ID when I did show it. But why not just call and ask?

how long does it usually take for the crts to post after meeting the 1k spending? I'm starting to get worried, traveling in 3 weeks and still nothing online.

They arrive even before the statement closes? Also, do they post online before they come in the mail? I see the upgrades online but not the free rooms...

starting to panic, got the card and did the spending almost 2 weeks ago but statement seems to be closing Aug 1st, I need the free night in 2.5 weeks. Any chance they'll post before the statement closes? If not, would they agree to close the statement earlier?

Call them. SM them. How does anyone else know what that rep will or will not do. If you ask for an exception it is YMMV. GL!

How right away is right away? They say they don't do paper certs anymore so I'm afraid things may have changed.
