Same situation here. Having been SPG ambassador before, I don’t expect massive changes in recognition/perks, but primarily looking for the Your24 benefit.

Contacted general Ambassador email ahead of early checkin last weekend, and they offered to do Your24 requests for me even though my Status was still not updated. Unfortunately the response back from the properties, was to deny Your24 request because I’m not ambassador :-(

Asking about the projected processing date for the status updates, I was told January as well, which has obviously slipped by now.
