Is that an official benefit or does the Ambassador more or less comp the points as a guest accommodation (similar to compensation for a problem)?

You get 500 points. No multipliers, no stays/nights, just 500 points, per policy. However, you may be missing out on he opp to earn with the other chain as this is essentially a travel agent booking, YMMV.
