Ambassador Weekend Certificate on any rate?
Are these "2for1" coupons good on any published rates including gov't rate? How do I book it online? Their booking site doesn't seem to have fields designated for coupon bookings. HELP!

check my posts cuz i basically asked the same q last week-- you can buy at any rate -- then in the comments field put a note about the coupon -- if you do the cheapest you will pay for both nights up front and get credited upon arrival - i hate this but what can you do.

No, no, no .....!
Make 2 separate bookings. Book the first night at the lowest possible rate (ie usually a pre-paid rate). Book the second night at the flexible rate - ie non pre-paid. It doesn't matter that the rate is more expensive, because it is ALWAYS the second night that is free.
Do NOT pre-pay for both nights, because it is too much hassle getting the hotel to refund the second night.

I am glad you told me because I need to book for 2 hotels this week and so now I dont have to lay out all the cash upfront!
Thanks,

Even better, doing it this way (and using the 1000visa link in the Promos thread to book) means you should get 2 lots of bonus points instead of 1 - because you will have 2 bookings instead of 1!

I will arrive at the IC BKK on Wednesday, have booked a pre-paid rate for a few nights and I will use my RA free weekend night this time. Had a discussion with IC Shanghai last year, they didn’t want to refund my prepaid rate to my CC claming this voucher was only valid for non pre paid rates. They finally gave up this thought after I talked to the GM
