When does this become active? i was actually looking for some rooms at RR Richmond but it doesn't seem as the AMEX promo is being applied or mentioned anywhere when booking.

I grew up here, this town has its charm that I couldn't imagine living anywhere else in Vancouver.

If you need some local directions, I can definitely offer some suggestions.

Whistler is a tourist spot, winter is the peak time and hotel alone is like $250-$300 a night on avg; they rarely have huge discounts. I can only think of Costco may carry some prepaid tickets but that's hugely YMMV because it's not always available.

If im reading this correctly, does this mean i need to make a separate booking each night, for a max of 3 nights?

Might give it a try for a short trip to BC.

Places I would avoid on the weekend:

- Costco
- Ikea
- Hazelbridge/No.3/Cambie/Alderbridge area

In terms of eateries, there are a few spots in various food court are exceedingly good and reasonably priced.

No, you can make up to three separate bookings each with up to three nights.

If you make multiple single night bookings that are consecutive, they will be treated as a single multi night booking for the purpose of calculating your eligible gift cards. Plus you will be flagged as reaching the maximum three booking limit for this offer.
