Is it ok to sell ambassador weekend certificate on ebay?
I got two IC Amb weekend certificates this year, and I only used one so far, and have one that I don't plan on using this year (expiring 11/2017), so instead of letting it go unused, is it ok or is it against their policy to sell it on ebay?

Though I guess you are hoping your post will prompt an offer from FTers: if that's the case you should be using Coupon Connection to arrange ann exchange of some sort.

What does it say on the certificate? Any verbiage that it is non-transferrable? Or that selling or bartering is against the terms of the certificate?

These used to trade on CC for like 5k to 10k IHG points. Problem is that the AMB BOGO gets booked at rates higher than the lowest available, so seldom able to get an actual 50% off. So, probably a waste putting it on eBay.

changing topic slightly.
This year they sent me an Ambassador pack and then as I got a late upgrade to RA, they send me a RA pack too! both with a BOGOF certificate...different reference numbers on them.
I intend to try to use both...hopefully it goes through okay? anyone have experience with this?

didn't they get thrown out, way back, when they stopped the RA referral certs?

Even if one tries to redeem one from say 2005 that has no expiration date on it? I do still have one from March, 2005 when I was RA that I never used. I sat on it for a while trying to figure out what to do with it but now that I'm fully SPG / Marriott I no longer have need. I can't see how ICHG would object to redeeming a cert with no expiration date on it?
