I am currently Platinum and not a member of the Ambassador scheme. The options are:-

1. Make no effort, hope my Plat is recognised in some way but don't expect anything
2. Join Ambassador and hope that that is recognised even though it's a reward stay
3. Join Ambassador PLUS transfer some points to make me Spire and hope that one of these things gets me some recognition!

Any thoughts would be helpful, thanks.
Can you explain that part? Also, with your Ambassador membership, you will get a one room category upgrade and a free pay-per-view movie for your stay. Does that sound "worth it" to you for $200? Moreover, do you plan on staying at more ICs in the rest of the 12 months?
