Chase Fairmont Cards Have Now Converted To Chase Sapphire Preferred Cards – What You Need To Know/Do

Chase Fairmont cardholders should have receive a letter informing them that their card would be product changed to a Chase Sapphire Preferred on August 15th, 2017 and those product changes have now been completed. There’s a few important things to note:

  • New card will arrive in six to eight weeks and come with a new expiration date and security code (you’ll keep the same card number)
  • Cardmembers will continue to earn Premier Status through February 28, 2018 (unless they close their Fairmont account. Not your credit card).
  • You can now create referral links for the Chase Sapphire Preferred (share yours here)
  • If you earned the free Fairmont night it will arrive within 8 to 10 weeks or within six weeks of your account anniversary date (whatever comes first). Unfortunately expediting doesn’t seem to be an option can also ask for this to be expedited.

Account <1 year old. Converted regular Sapphire but only given option to convert to FU, not regular freedom.

Was able to convert to a regular Sapphire, but from here the only option I am given is to go to Freedom Unlimited.

Sent a SM to request a product change to Freedom and was turned down. Called yesterday and the agent was able to convert my card to a no-fee Sapphire. Sent another SM message today and I’m now able to convert to a Freedom Unlimited, but not a regular Freedom

I am wanting to rent a car mid September and planned on using the Fairmont/CSP for the primary rental coverage. If I have not yet received new CSP can I still use the Fairmont card until new one comes in?

Have HUCA’d and SMd multiple times to PC to a Freedom Unlimited or CSR and was told you cant product change until account is 12 months old. They even told me there is a note on the account when you call.

Fairmont card opened 1/2017, just sent SM asking to PC to CFU, got denied – see below response, only option is no-AF CS. Any advice whether to “HUCA” with a real phone call? Or can I PC to the CS and then eventually PC that to a CFU?

I saw a Fairmont Visa Complimentary Night certificate in the Fairmont app good until July 2018 issued July 11, 2017. Must be for my spend last year. This makes three of these plus a 3rd night free, Room upgrade, and Suite upgrade.

I spent $6499 before August 14, so should get another night from Chase. I wonder can I do three nights in a suite upgrade and the other two in a room upgrade?

My $95 Fairmont Visa AF just posted this month. I haven’t used my suite upgrade or 3rd night free certificates yet. If I PC to another Freedom card and ask for a refund of the $95 AF, will I lose my Fairmont President’s Club certificates that aren’t set to expire until 2/28/18?

I tried to PC to FU twice by SM and calling but both times I was told it’s not possible since my card has been opened less than a year. I think those reporting success on converting directly to freedom or FU, have had their original fairmont card more than 1 year

Actually a DP for you… Same here that I was told multiple times that it was not possible from CSP (originally Fairmont) to anything else other than CS. I then decided to PC into CS yesterday. Today I asked twice. First I was told no options other than keeping CS and it was a long hold…. Second time I was told FU is an option and I asked for it to be rushed out to me.

I only opened Fairmont back in Jan and have not had it for over 1 year. Sneaking into chase’s core branded card is finally a success for me, ha 🙂
