Perhaps this is common knowledge. Just logged into IHG and saw this banner in the member overview section:
Beginning January 1, your Ambassador benefits will no longer be applicable at Regent, and the Complimentary Weekend Night will not be available for use at Regent or Kimpton hotels.

I usually do that before the few stays I have each year.

Usage of the BOGOF at Kimpton and Regent was a pandemic measure and many of us never expected tt to be extended after this year.

Yup, I saw that.
However, in the WIkipost of this thread:
https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/inte...formation.html
it states that "Ambassador costs $200 (rised from $150 in 2010) or 40,000 IHG One Rewards per year, and expires 12 months from the end of the month of your purchase". I'm not sure what is actually the case for new member signups in 2022. If I signed up today (11/2/22), would my Ambassador membership last until (a) 11/2/23, (b) 11/30/23, or (c) 12/31/23?
