Are you really, really sure you want to pay us $150 to become an Ambassador

I just signed up for Amb - as prep for submitting an RA referral. A couple of days after I signed up online I got the following letter:

Warm greetings from the InterContinental Ambassador Service Center!

Mr. Wright, thank you for your continuous support to InterContinental Hotels and Resorts. Should you have further questions, please contact us at +44 8704 009 099 or via e-mail at [email protected].

Now, I do appreciate them checking; I have rarerly ever stayed an ICs in the past, so maybe that is what triggered them to double check. I wonder if they have had a bunch of people signing up, not realizing that Amb got them nothing at non-IC branded properties ?
