The system doesnt usually let you book the Ambassador certificate rate for non weekend nights such as Thursdays.
At the Palazzo I have booked a stay commencing Thursday 25th Dec as part of a two night Ambassador weekend certificate booking, this is allowed by the hotel within the booking system, I can not book any other non weekend days e.g. stay commening on Sunday.
It looks like they have allowed this over the Christmas holidays.
The reasons why I am not booking Friday / Sat night even though it is available is because it is $50 cheaper this way

But if you book Saturday separately using points, you don't have a paid 2-night weekend stay anymore, and the AMB certificate isn't applicable.
Here's the T&C:
"Complimentary Weekend Night Certificate: Each Certificate is valid for 12 months from the date of issue and is redeemable in conjunction with a minimum two consecutive nights paid weekend stay when booking the Ambassador Weekend rate "AMB Certificate" at any InterContinental Hotels & Resorts property (not valid at any other IHG® hotel brands)."
Can anyone else on here confirm this, or correct me? Otherwise, I would call IHG directly to be sure.
