If you want upgrades at IC branded properties, as explained above, you must join the Ambassador program. The upgrade will be one category though that would not cover your award nights.
Bolding mine........not true. please see my post in the other thread. Got a IC Club room - pre blocked for me, upgraded from a deluxe room as a Plat. I got this upgrade because I sent an email to the GM before arrival.....I find that held 99% of the time
