There were rumours that changes were coming to IHG’s InterContinental Ambassador program<\/a>. It is now confirmed by an internal memo:<\/p>\n\n\n

  • New price will kick in on October 2<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Cash price: $200 -> $225<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Point price: 40,000 -> 45,000<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    We are seeing a 12.5% increase in both payment methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Given that their membership fee hasn’t seen any change in so many years, I actually think the mark up is justified and IHG isn’t to blame. We are yet to see more details, but with such a moderate increase I doubt they’ll add more benefits to the Ambassador program in the meantime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Remember that you can renew your membership 90 days in advance to lock the old price. But as we have until October to make the decision, I suggest to wait it out in case IHG launches a promotion meanwhile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Although you can no longer extend your Diamond status by purchasing the Ambassador membership, the program itself is still well worth the fee if used wisely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
