May I ask what voucher you are talking about?
You can use the BOGO (so far) for all bookings (on weekends) except suite bookings. When you book a "room" and get upgraded to a suite, you can still use the BOGO.
Your Ambassador status will always give you a 1-level upgrade. In HKGs case, from superior to deluxe harbour view, or deluxe harbour view to (partial) harbour view junior suite, respectively.
I would stick to your original booking in your case. - Just my opinion

I am very tempted to stick with what I have. I take it that I can still get the late check-out because I fly home at 0100 the next morning.

The upgrade is not connected to BOGO at all. The latter is just a voucher for a free 2nd weekend night. You get one BOGO but unlimited upgrades

Just as the one level upgrade, late check-out (till 4 pm) is complimentary for all Ambassador members

According to Virtuoso there is a "promo" out there, which entitles you to a 2 cat upgrade at time of booking:
"Double Upgrade Double Commission
Enjoy a two-category room upgrade, with a maximum upgrade to a Junior Suite, at the time of booking
Daily buffet breakfast at Harbourside restaurant
Complimentary access to Club InterContinental for booking Contemporary Superior Harbour View category and above
20% Commission"
I am a RA and if I book this package do I then get a quatruple upgrade (2 cat upgrade at booking and 2 cat upgrade at check-in when providing my RA card)?
Am I able to input a Virtuoso booked stay into my IC profile (for a possible pre-upgrade)? Do I need to call the hotel for this? Do I get all RA amenities and IC points when booking the nights through Virtuoso?
If I would like to use my BOGO on that stay, do I then have to ask the hotel if they kindly accept it under the new BOGO rules (BOGO nights need to be booked under special link...)?
Many thanks in advance...
PS: I know that IC HKG officially only upgrades to jr. suites; but there are some reports out there saying they sometimes go over their limit as well
best regards,
flo

New room categories
Looks like the IC HK has created a new room category -- SUPERIOR JUNIOR SUITE. According to the descriptions, these rooms have the partial harbor view (xx01), while the full harbor view junior suites (xx16) are now called DELUXE JUNIOR SUITE (and they cost a few hundred HKD more). It'll be very interesting to see what this means for A/RA upgrades...

What rooms needs to be booked for an RA to get club access?
I was hoping to book a certain room that has club access and get upgraded to a suite.

So the hotel does not give club access for RAs?
Is the only way for an RA to get club access is to pay the 900 HKD?

I presume you are talking about the IC Hong Kong not the GS (which gives club access, as others have reported).

I am talking about the IC not the GS.
Also, will they give me a jr suite with a view of the harbor?
I saw the Club IC rate and that is what I plan to book.

They are very proactive in answering email requests, so if you really want a specific room, I'd simply drop them a message.
If the room rate doesn't really matter, booking any kind of junior suite will grant you a nice "full" suite upgrade (superior suite is a great suite!), although their official policy is no upgrades beyond junior suites...

My first IC/Ambassador experience
Booked a prepaid Harbour view superior room online and the confirmation showed I'd been upgraded to a Dlx harbour view.
On arrival, I was told I'd been upgraded to a Junior Suite and was taken up to room 1201. Nice room and upgrade but the purpose of my trip was to have the full view and this room only had the partial harbour view so I went back to reception to see what could be done. I was prepared to pay extra but they moved me to 716 without charge. I must say I was very happy with that.
Only negative is that I haven't yet received the promised refund for the BOGO second night. Will wait a couple more days on that and then get in touch if I haven't received it.

What is a 'good' rate for July'10?
Using the 'Friends & Family' promo I pull up these nightly rates rates for the first weekend of July:
1 KING BED CONTEMPORARY SUP HARBOR VIEW: HK$ 2,000.63
1 KING BED CONTEMPORARY DLX HARBOR VIEW: HK$ 2,206.88
How do these look to the people with some experience in the pricing at this facility?
Should I be jumping all over them? (They are pre-paid, non-ref, of course)
Any thoughts on the value of paying for a DLX over a SUP room?
Thanks.
