Only Royal Ambassadors may "plunder" the Mini bar, but yes, every day you may do so, if you please, at no charge.

If you stay often at IC branded hotels, paying for Ambassador status is well worth the price, in my opinion.

I only purchased Ambassador status, and then was invited to RA status, because I use the benefits on Vacation.

I usually stay at ICs other brands due to availability in my travel areas.

From what I have read so far in Marriott threads, it doesn't look like Marriott offers as many point earning promotions, is my impression accurate?

With Priority Club I have been earning about 350,000 points a year, on about 150 nights a year, is this possible with Marriott?

Feedback is appreciated!

Thanks!
