A benefits upgrade, a name change, and the launch of a new rewards program were some of the changes that took place in the spring of this year.

The Straight To Diamond promotion allowed members to get Diamond for 90 days and keep it through the end of the year, but there is an easier way that requires $200. The offer was taken off the table quickly.

The page for the Ambassador program can be accessed here.

Ihg One rewards rate and bonus points offers are currently available.

The ambassador program only applies to stays at InterContinental Hotels.

You can extend your status by an additional year if you purchase or Renew the Ambassador Membership.

I can't remember if you have retained your elite status through the Ambassador program.

If you try to get confirmation from customer service, the answer has always been no, even though the IHG has never disclosed this.

The net price of the Ambassador membership is $125 if you take the value of the Ihg One rewards points that you get.

All the other benefits, such as late check-out and upgrade, are just gravy.

Those that stay at InterContinental hotels can take advantage of the Ambassador membership's benefits.

  • Guaranteed 4 PM check out at InterContinental Hotels
  • Guaranteed one-category upgrade at InterContinental Hotels
  • Free Weekend Night Voucher (second night free when paid first at best flexible)
  • IHG One Rewards Platinum status
  • $20 F&B credit per stay (amount varies by market)

My Ambassador Renewal (December 30, 2022):

Ambassador memberships can be renewed within 90 days of their end. I decided to pay today because I will get an additional 20,000 points by staying two nights at select brands by the end of January, even though mine was going to run out at the end of March.

Your account has 15,000 bonus points.

Ambassador vouchers are also free.

Ambassador renewal pushed the end of my Diamond status to December 31, 2024, even though I had qualified for it through the end of 2023.

Extending Spire Elite (IHG’s Previous Name for Diamond) Through Ambassador:

Buying or renewing an InterContinental Ambassador is a reward that IHG rewards.

Ihg rewards club has elite status extensions for ambassador renewal

When buying an ambassador membership, you can get an extension of the rewards club's elite status.

Is it possible to extend the rewards club's elite status by buying ambassador memberships?

The ambassador program status extension is nothing new.

IHG Loyalty Program Refresh in 2022:

The InterContinental Le Grand Paris is an annual lounge membership experience case.

The InterContinental Paris Le Grand has a confirmed suite upgrade experience case.

New elite tiers and benefits are now available.

There is now a rewards program for Ihg One.

Breakfast, Suite Upgrades, and Lounge Access are included in the Ihg One rewards.

InterContinental Hotels are trying to prevent free access in their club lounges.

There is a clarification regarding the IHG One rewards upgrade benefit.

The IHG rewards have been refreshed to include a new silver tier.

Email me about the program refresh and I will give you a reward.

It was the conclusion.

We never had so many questions about the program feature before, but then the benefits of the new and enhanced Diamond weren't as good as the old one.

IHG won't confirm the status extension before buying or renewing the Ambassador.

You have to remember that the people who work at the customer service desk have never been to any of the affiliated hotels, and they don't know how the program works.

The program feature can be removed without any announcement. I think the Diamond status extension is the main reason for new Ambassador sign-ups.
