Sorry to dredge this thread up from almost ten years ago, but it came up when I Googled essentially the same question.

So I am new to IHG and also new to Ambassador status. I have a long stay coming up at IC Bordeaux where I cobbled together several different reservations and payment forms.

Both the first night and the last night are booked with FHR. In between there are a couple of points nights, and a four-night sequence booked through Citi Prestige.

To focus on the two bookend FHR nights. When I go onling at ihg.com, I can see that the reservations exist, but I cannot see anything about room type. For example, I'd like a king bed. Also, while I am not expecting any crazy double upgrade, am I correct in thinking that I should be guaranteed at least some upgrade in advance via the Ambassador status (since I know that FHR upgrades are technically subject to availability and thus hard to pin down in advance)?

Obviously what I am hoping for is to nail down my "entitlements," then see if they will subsume a good upgrade for the two points nights within the longer stay.

Any advice on how to initiate / monitor this is appreciated. Hyatt I know like the back of my hand, but IHG and Intercontinental are still strange lands to me.
