This way they get 4 upgraded nights for their investment too

I know that is a bit simplistic as the points saved are worth by most peoples calculation $70/10k, to offset against Amb weekend nights rate, depends if OP would prefer his points or cash in pocket
I think this makes more sense for me personally and will give me better "value". Assuming of course that if I offer to sign up for Amb at check-in, they agree an upgrade.
