I’ve been holding off renewing my Intercontinental Ambassador<\/a> membership in the hope of another renewal offer. The offer is indeed coming back finally, however…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Refer to the following image for details:<\/p>\n\n\n

Basically, join or renew your Ambassador membership between September 2nd and December 31st to activate the offer. Once enrolled, stay two nights at any InterContinental, Regent or Kimpton hotels by January 31st 2023 to receive 20K bonus points. The offer is not live yet, but I expect the t&c<\/a> to reflect it very soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two nights must be paid, but redeeming the Ambassador BOGOF voucher also counts. If you are unfamiliar with InterContinental Ambassador you can read my review here<\/a> – in my opinion it’s a great program and you can earn the annual fee back from one BOGOF stay already. 20K bonus points is another reason to join.<\/p>\n\n\n

You can renew your membership online<\/a> 92 days before it expires by paying $200 or 40,000 points, and the former option comes with a bonus of 15,000 points. You can also pay to renew it when staying at an InterContinental hotel, but not all of them know how to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem is, my membership expires on September 1st! Of course I can wait one more day to re-join and take advantage of the offer, but I don’t want to risk not renewing my Diamond status, which is worth much more than 20K points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A friend has called IHG’s customer service who confirms the authenticity of this promotion. What they’ve also said is re-joining on the same month (in my case September) is also considered renewal, but I’m not sure if I want to take the punt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
