If you combine Ambassador 10% , Chase 10% with points and dollars, you can get some great steals out there.
Yes, that option is $200 vs $150 for standard cash renewal (SEE BELOW). Definitely worth it if you plan to burn a few hundred-thousand miles in the upcoming year.
Based on the standard valuation of $.005 or half-cent IHG point value you would break even redeeming 100K points for a rebate of 10K with that extra AMB option.
I'm renewing with the Points option this year (also eligible for the 10% rebate) as I plan to spend 2018 building back my points stash.
