I'm not sure that it has been posted already or not.
When I tried to renew my Ambassador membership, besides USD100 and 20K PC points options, 2 new choices there:
- Renew for $150 and receive 15,000 bonus points
- Renew for $200 and receive 15,000 bonus points plus a 10% points rebate on Reward Nights
* Maximum number of points to be rebated not to exceed 100K points in a calendar year
USD50 for 10K points are better than C+P (USD60) and seems count for status.

Now I'm really happy that I didn't renew last week as I didn't see any of these options than. With 5 IC reward nights already booked for May next year it's an easy decision for me: 35000 points (15000 + 20000 discount on already existing reservations) in my case + BOGO + Ambassador for another year all for 200 $. A steal!

From the way the T&C's are phrased I would also assume it's a maximum of 100k points you get back - but as so often with IC - it's open for interpretation.

I'm guessing (from the way these bookings show up in the purchase history) that the 10% rebate will apply against the full points cost of the award booking, e.g you will get 4,000 points back for a 40,000 point IC booking even if you actually got it with 30,000 Points + Cash.
I also wonder whether the rebates will count for Platinum status?

My ambassador expires 31 Dec this year.
If i renew now (in october) - will this will take me 31 December 2012?
If i chose the $200 renewal option - will the 10% rebate be valid for redemptions for stays between now and december 31 within my CURRENT ambassador year?
thanks

My status expired in july of this year, but I keep getting the "renew now for 100$" emails, I wonder as well, would it begin now, so an october renewal?
