I always find I have to log in twice to get it to work
and the rates are usually horrific.
the only place I have found the rate reasonable is Sydney.

Thanks ! I could look AMB rate using your link. However, when I try to book on March next year...all of them are unavailable eventhough my AMB membership would expire on September

Not all of us have corporate accounts so are not so fortunate. And the whole point of the Weekend BOGOs is for personal stays that should not be booked on a corporate rate since these stays are not business-related.

The major problem I have with this booking scheme is that all my BOGO stays this year have posted as "non-qualifying" and I've had to contact the Ambassador office to correct this. Most times they omit the bonuses and registering the stay in the Ambassador Accelerator meter. (Not to mention these stays used to post as two nights, and now when "corrected" only get one qualifying night.)
