That means I'd be paying ~$40 for all the Ambassador benefits for one year. Not a bad deal, assuming I have some upcoming IC stays.

How long after or prior to your Ambassador expiry do you have to renew (and receive the 15,000 points)? That is, can I let it expire and still "renew" 30 days later and have it still count as a renewal? Or do I have to renew immediately prior to expiry?

I think a better way of looking at it is you’re getting 15,000 points which is worth $75. So you are really spending $125 for Ambassador.
