IC London O2 Suite Eligible for Ambassador Upgrade?
I have a City Intercontiental Suite booked for 2 nights at the IC London O2. I recently read the list of exclusions - perhaps I am being dense but I don't understand it.
With this room does that make it ineligible for an upgrade, and if so would I be better booking the King Deluxe Suite and getting an upgrade on this?
Exclusions are
The Penthouse, 1 bedroom Club InterContinental Suite, 2 bedrooms Club InterContinental Suite

The Deluxe Suite as you probably know is not really a suite at all it is a rather nice room with decent space and a sofa of varying layouts the best being **01 and **02 rooms on the higher floors.
The One bed suites also come in a variety of layouts and actually sizes, ranging from enormous to decently sized.
The best value point at this property for an AMB is thus probably to book a deluxe suite and get the upgrade to a proper suite.

Apart from the exclusions there is now the broader IC issue for AMB/RA of no upgrades beyond certain suites.

Should have mentioned that I am using the ambassador BOGOF voucher. The Friday night is £20 difference, the Sunday which is the free night is £100. So for the sake of £20 I may as well stick - I have previously cancelled and rebooked as the rate dropped by £50 per night.
EDIT - just checked and the suite I have booked has gone up in price, and is now spot on £100 difference per night - I must have been lucky!
