Much better to buy Amb at checkin on award after checking the IC will give upgrade on their award night. The weekend bogo can be used later anytime upto 12months.
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.
