Well Amb doesn't get you lounge anyway

I don't stay at ICs very frequently (which, along with it not renewing Diamond any more, is why I don't have Amb) but in my limited experience the difference as Diamond no Amb vs Diamond Amb just seems to be that you don't get a room on the Amb levels, so it may be on a lower floor, depending on upgrade.

The last time I needed a 4pm checkout was in 2019 and if I'm going to eat at the hotel I wouldn't be swayed by a food credit, I've also struggled to use the free night without having to pay more than I wanted to.
