Just a few days ago we talked about the InterContinental Ambassador, IHG's paid membership that, in addition to benefits and perks, also gives IHG Platinum Elite status. Today we talk about an extra benefit launched by the hotel chain to convince the undecided to join the program, or in case you are already an Ambassador to renew your subscription.
In this article:
How to get 20 thousand IHG points
To participate in the offer "Join Ambassador, stay two nights, earn 20k bonus points", which allows you to earn 20,000 IHG One Rewards bonus points, you must:
- Enroll in the InterContinental Ambassador program during the period from September 2, 2022 to December 31, 2022
- Complete two qualifying nights at participating InterContinental Hotels & Resorts, Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants or Regent Hotels & Resorts by January 31, 2023
The offer is valid for both new members and those whose accounts are expiring between September and the end of the year.
For new members, you can use 40,000 IHG One Rewards points instead of paying $ 200 in cash. Doing so pays 40,000 points, and once you complete the two nights, you receive 20,000 points back.
Benefits for Ambassadors
Benefits include one free night per year, Platinum IHG One Rewards status and many others, here they are in detail:
- Platinum Elite Status, the second highest level in the IHG loyalty program, is normally obtained by staying 40 nights a year in the group's hotels. Among the benefits it gives: bonus points and other pampering such as a welcome drink or in-room newspaper every morning.
- Free room upgrade: based on availability you may receive upgrades to better rooms, subject to availability
- A credit of $ 20 for food and drink per InterContinental stay (not valid at Regent)
- Guaranteed late check-out at 4 pm:Â normally, as a Platinum Elite, you are entitled to check-out at 2 p.m., thanks to the ambassador card you will have two extra hours each stay
- Complimentary weekend night: the cost of the annual subscription pays for itself with stays, but if you're looking for an immediate reason to spend the 200$ the excuse you're looking for is the voucher for a free night that you will receive every year when you renew your subscription. To use it you will need to book 1 night at the Ambassador Weekend rate To get the second night "free."
Is this an attractive offer?
As always, this is a subjective evaluation. What is certain is that if you stay in these facilities, or plan to, this opportunity makes the subscription to the annual subscription of 200$: in fact, in addition to the free night, comes 20 thousand bonus points that can be translated into a second free night.
