Our Verdict
You can view the other Ambassador status benefits here. Personally I don’t think Ambassador status is worth it even with this bonus, but if you’re already paying for it and find it useful then this is definitely a nice freebie.

Those who have spire elite status can keep it alive by signing up or renewing ambassador status, without the required stay requirements.
do you mean that ambassador will keep spire elite for next year if I sign up for this year , when next year I will receive a 25k bonus point as a spire elite member, so actually it only cost 15k for me to sign up for ambassordor this year, what a sweet spot
Reserved an Ambassador reward night for a Friday / Saturday stay in Chicago for July - it was full price for night one, night two free. Also, according to the agent, the 40K renewal night certificate will be there only for those who pay the $200 - not for the points renewal.
Can I still renew it if my renewal is not until 2/1/2021?
Within 60 days of expiration.
Any chance the charge for Ambassador would code as Intercontinental for current Amex offers?
Didn't get a trigger email when I did it online. Guessing if you did it at an Intercontinental, it might
Do you think I can combine it with the offer of staying 2 nights at any IHG hotel and getting 1 night free?
still no offer....are they having 2nd thoughts? just slow?
IHG is going down the way things stand. They can’t afford to pay rent on like 125 of their US based hotels at least and are about to lose them.
IHG is cash poor. They’re at risk of losing like 100 affiliated hotels in the US due to non payment.
Plenty of cash out there now. They'll figure out something out to bring in a loan.
IHG crashing and burning...
BRING BACK POINTBREAKS AND GIVE US SOME GOOD ONES
If i have the credit card that mean i will get 2 free night?
