If I understand correctly, the "Free" Ambassador weekend night rate is now 30% higher than the lowest rate.
Not long ago, it seemed that it was 20% higher, but when that benefit started, from what I remember, the rate was the same as the regular rate for the same night.
IHG is redefining the meaning of the word "Free"!

Can you still get the ambassador program by giving 40k points?
It seems like all the benefits are at Intercontinental hotels only. Would I get the USD20 credit toward our restaurants at a regular Holiday Inn?
I never ever stay in Intercontinental hotels....because they are 2 states away.

not easily accessible. Years ago anyone ambassador or not could view rate. It's a defacto 20 percent discount not 50 percent.
Ironically I have found that often better of ( on what would have been an eligable period and ambassador rates were available. If points available one night and virturoso rate better than ambassador redemtiom !!!
Program is a sleezy scam. I have a verisever dislike
for igh rewards everything comes from manilla philpines.
Interesting how it takes months to get a cert but they bill in hours. I regularly see hotels at $238 before AAA discount and reward is 50,000 points!!!
And it's not even available

I am trying to utilize the BOGO voucher for a upcoming stay in Intercontinental ANA Hotel in Tokyo in August. The rooms are not available during the period of stay. When I click on the Available Dates calendar, it seems that there are no rooms available from now till Y2020. Is the hotel blocking off all the rooms for BOGO redemption or that this is likely to be a system glitch?
