Yes I just got the letter about the free downgrade. Is there a big difference at this property in the way they treat A's compared to RA's. I know no mini bar.

Well, you can try emailing in advance about RA benefits and hope they'll apply an upgrade earlier and wont notice the exp date.

I have just received my monthly update and it has come with the subject line 'Your monthly InterContinental Royal Ambassador update'. As far as I am aware I am not a Royal Ambassador, and logging in to my account still shows platinum ambassador, but is this a sign that I am likely to be upgraded, or is it another IHG IT error?

There was a post giving a link to a page on the PC website that displayed your current status - of course I cannot find it 
However it seems I am not alone in receiving a RA newsletter when I am sure I am merely an A.

No longer 90/90 since May 10, 2011
4 ways to receive RA status:
- Hit the neccassary criteria within 1 year of Ambassador to be among the top 1% tier of ICH customers --- best way ^
- Buy a cert at Ebay for loads of money
- Find a friend who actually reffers you
- Trade with another community member within the thread "Coupon Connection".
(visible after being 90 days member at FT and after having 90 posts)
Best ethical way: earn your status

Now I'm not sure if this is new to others but it was too me, so I thought I share it just in case.
It seams the T&C for RA's have been changed again, it now reads
So it's now at check-in (not longer at reservation) and also it can be one of 3 choices brining it further down.

Upgrade to an executive room, Club InterContinental room or a suite for Royal Ambassadors at check-in.

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I can't find it anywhere. Apologies if so.
If I take Ambassador status using PC points, does that replace my Platinum PC membership, or is it in addition? The reason I ask is because in the UK there are so few Intercons and so I usually stay at the other brands. There's not much point going for Ambassador if I then lose my PC occasional upgrades etc.

Nope, it will not replace it.
