Accor Amex Offer: Spend $350, Get $70 on Fairmont & Sofitel Hotels

A new Amex Offer has surfaced that allows you to earn a $70 statement credit by using your American Express cards at Fairmont or Sofitel hotels in Canada until January 31, 2023.

Fairmont & Sofitel Hotels: Spend $350, Get $70

You’ll earn a one-time $70 (CAD) statement credit upon spending $350 (CAD) after taxes at participating Fairmont and Sofitel hotels in Canada via the Accor ALL app or at all.com.

Note that the promotion is limited to Canadian properties. Fairmont has a fairly wide selection nationwide, with properties in every major city and several resorts in between, while Sofitel’s sole Canadian presence is in Montreal.

Despite the offer’s affiliation with the wider Accor hotel portfolio, other Accor brands in Canada, such as Novotel, are unfortunately excluded.

The offer works on cumulative purchases that total $350 or more, so there’s no requirement to meet the $350 minimum in a single purchase.

The offer ends on January 31, 2023, and has a fairly limited registration cap of the first 25,000 cardholders, so it’s best to register as soon as possible to ensure that you’re eligible.

We’ve seen this offer popping up across a wide range of American Express cards. If you’re playing the game in two-player mode or more, be sure to check each individual’s cards to see whether the offer has showed up and register accordingly.

Save 20% on Upcoming Hotel Stays

This offer can be an excellent incentive if you’ve been considering booking a stay at Fairmont or Sofitel hotels this winter. By making a purchase of exactly $350, you’d effectively unlock a 20% discount on your purchase via the $70 statement credit.

Since the statement credit will be applied on the Amex side, you can combine it with other ongoing property-specific deals or money-saving tactics, like Stay Vancouver, Edmonton’s Best Hotels, or the Ontario Staycation Tax Credit. As long as the bill is at least $350, you’ll get the $70 credit.

Note that if you took advantage of any Fairmont gift card sales, which offered an effective 16.67% discount by way of a 20% bonus on gift card purchases, then you could pay for a stay using both your Fairmont gift cards and your credit card with the Accor Amex Offer on it – but not simultaneously.

I’d recommend using the Accor Amex Offer to pay for a $350 chunk of the hotel bill first, since it’s a limited-time deal and represents a higher effective…
