The actual situation has been quite weird though &#8211; albeit belated all the rebate still posted at some point for me, and I think it happened to at least some other people too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reader Jon has just got in touch with his new findings. When he was booking an InterContinental hotel earlier he was presented with an option to renew his Ambassador membership &#8211; this is a known feature and not new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, when he proceeded to renew, he noticed a paragraph below the two usual options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/ihg-ambassador-renewal-reward-night-rebate.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/ihg-ambassador-renewal-reward-night-rebate.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10186\" width=\"338\" height=\"272\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/ihg-ambassador-renewal-reward-night-rebate.png 675w, https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/ihg-ambassador-renewal-reward-night-rebate-300x241.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 338px) 100vw, 338px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, description about the 10% rebate is seemingly back. I have no idea whether the text is a recent thing or has been there forever. I renewed my membership last week by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/ambassador-renew\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">going through the normal link<\/a>, and I didn&#8217;t notice anything like this in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Has the 10% rebate benefit officially made its way back, has it never gone, or is the text simply an IT glitch? I really have no idea. However, if you are about to renewing your Ambassador membership, I&#8217;d recommend do it the way Jon suggested and take a screenshot. If the rebate doesn&#8217;t post you have evidence to make a solid case with IHG.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you have only joined IHG Ambassador&#8217;s program within the last two years, you may not know that it used to have a less-known perk: if&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10185","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ihg"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10185","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10185"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10185\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10194,"href":"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10185\/revisions\/10194"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10185"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10185"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.verylvke.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10185"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
