Which is better? Never sure how to value hotel points.
but not all regions)Thank You !

Also you'll get more precise help if we know if you have any IHG status, which you can show by editting your profile. This then showsin l/h/s column with your FT handle on your posts

If you have no IHG Elite status, buying Ambassador is worth it for another reason, ... if no status you get GOLD, which gets you free internet throughout IHG group.

Although supposedly just signing up as IHG member should get you free internet at IHG hotels (but not all regions) since Jan2014.
