I expected nothing as I have been here probably 10x booking through IHG and non-IHG,but they provided me with all AMB benefits.

Out of curiosity, why would you book through an OTA when there’s a good chance you won’t get your benefits or points?
If it’s a price difference and IHG won’t approve a BRG, I would just contact the hotel directly and ask them to match the price.
