Certainly wouldn't take the chance and would be doing a 5k bonus points stay if required as those all count
known issue/unintended-benefit of IHG I.T.

If you are xxx elite with Plat or Spire Elite Status ending on 1st Jan due to not hitting needed 40k4/40nights or 75k/75nights, buying Ambassador status/renewal (eg Nov/dec months) extends ones Plat/Spire status for duration of that newly purchased 12month Amb membership period, fo almost 1year AND seems to be repeatable 'bug' on subsequent Amb renewals in protecting/extending elite status at thae time b 12months, as long as one extends Amb before expiry
