For those who recently renewed using the $200--- 15K point option
could you be kind of to tell me how long it took for the 15,000 points to post ? was it ridiculous like a paper certificate ( like the 5000 ) when you intially join or was it literally instantaneous? Is it faster on the phone of doing it on line,where off shore can maually process the points. How did you do your renewal? |

If you are intending to burn any amount of points over the next year the $200 option may also be worth considering as it comes with 10% rebate on all spent points as well as 15k bonus points.

If my Ambassador renewal was due to end 1 August 18 and I'm still being offered a last chance renewal 2 questions:
1) I guess my renewed Ambassador statues will end 31/7/19, not from the date I renewed? 2) Will the weekend certificate expire at the end of July 19, I'll most likely want to use it in mid - August 2019, so not sure wheted to renew or just sign up agin in a few months. Thanks |
Has anyone here renewed Ambassador for 40K points?
Did the Ambassador package include any points back (5K vouchers were included in the past) |

I done the $200 option and the 15k points posted immediately. Renewal date was May |

Just got my renewal package in the mail and no more 5K points :(

I did a renewal about an hour ago and selected the $200 version due to a few planned redemptions plus the 15k extra points. The points posted immediately to my account and my AMB end date is also updated already. Worked surprisingly well, but still took screenshots to be safe.

Sorry for that. With the surge in renewal points/price and the inconsistent offerings for Amb among different ICs, I don’t think they’ll get my money this year. |
Renewal of Ambassador btw still extends current status for one more year (regardless of actual qualification)?

I did the $200 renewal last month, seemed like the best option. Does anyone know if the 10% rebate on points spend that comes with that applies to points used at all IHG hotels or just ICs?

It applies to all IHG hotels. I suggest you keep good records. For me personally the Ambassador rebate points frequently don't post on their own (after 4-6 weeks) and I have to contact IHG.
IHG's point history (frustratingly) omits info about what a given batch of points is for....makes deciphering what's for what quite difficult. |

Steph, may I ask you how you keep these records? A spreadsheet or something?

Handwritten note with various points listed that should be earned for each stay, then checked off as they post. Also a heads up to watch your IHG credit card points (if you use the card) as the points awarded are consistently wrong, for me at least. Most problematic are IC Venetian/Palazzo and Kimptons. They only credit as a regular,1 point/$1 purchase. |
Steph, I realize they include Ambassador vs CC rebate info, but they omit any info showing which stay the rebates are correlated with, as your examples show.
That's what makes tracking all this so tricky if you have many stays. Thanks for sharing your experience! |
