Yes.
Book the bogo for two nights through IHG using their website and book the remaining nights through Citi's concierge.
Do NOT use the BOGO for more than 2 nights as they charge you a higher nightly rate when using it.
I was just at the Bali IC last month and loved it so much I'm going back in March.

Is it better to just do points and free night certs and upgrade to club instead?
I really wanted to get one of the specialty suites though :/
If you end up going around last week of march or first week of april, let me know! itll be nice to have another pair of people to explore and enjoy the IC and bali with.^

Sorry, it gets a bit confusing on what you are trying to achieve. You need to book the AMB cert nights at a special rate via IHG website. You can't use nights booked under Citi Prestige rate to apply the cert against.
Whether points make sense depends on the paid rate and how you value the points. You can only book Classic room for reward nights and upgrading it via supplement fee to normal Club room can run between 100-150 US$ plus 21% depending on your negotiation with them.
To get a specialty suite as AMB (not sure if you are RA), you need to book into a Club Duplex at least. YMMV.

Well i was trying to work in the BOGO with the Citi prestige 4th night free on a 4 night paid stay and add points nights after that.
Is it better to just do points and free night certs and upgrade to club instead?
I really wanted to get one of the specialty suites though :/
If you end up going around last week of march or first week of april, let me know! itll be nice to have another pair of people to explore and enjoy the IC and bali with.^
