i had an ambassador for 6 years & have now been without one for the last 6 months & quite honestly i don't miss having one....the first ambassador i had in 2011 & 2012 was amazing....i would have gladly stayed 100+ nights just to retain her services....but the other 4-5 ambassadors i had from 2013 - 2018 were hit & miss at best....
i've stayed 65 nights with spg & another 80 with marriott so far this year....the bulk of my travel is usually in the first half of the year so my remaining travel till the end of this year won't get me more than another 30-40 nights....my average night rate is usually around the $100 a night mark so its unlikely that i'll get to the $20k spend threshold required to get ambassador service....i could push to get to 100 nights at spg properties but that would require staying at properties that are not convenient for me so i'm probably not going to do it....
my suggestion would be to not go out of your way to get another 10 nights....if it happens then that's great....if not then you aren't losing out on much....
