InterContinental Hotels Ambassador upgrade policies – maximise your room upgrade with your Ambassador membership
One of the main benefits of the InterContinental Ambassador program is the complimentary room upgrade when staying at IC hotels. However, you have to be well informed to make best use of it.

Different locations have different upgrade policies, and one location might give you Club access while others might give you a full upgrade to another room category, plus a few bells and whistles.
We’ve contacted some of the InterContinental hotels in the region for their policies and worked up a table of room types and amenities on offer with Ambassador membership. Continue reading…

On our second day at the InterContinental, we decided that we could actually afford to stay an extra night, shifting our flight from an early morning departure to one later the following day. This gained us about 30 hours additional time at the resort.
This was handled by booking into a Club InterContinental room which had the few remaining rooms in the resort, and after IHG Ambassador status upgrades kicked in we were staying in a 2 Bedroom Club suite. Given my previous write-up on the main resort area and a pair of Ocean View rooms , this one focuses on the Club InterContinental specifically. Continue reading…

Etihad will kick in 20% on top of any transfer from the programs listed here until the 30th November (the say 31 November on the offer page, but all sane people know that November doesn’t have 31 days…) with the points crediting within 7 days of the transfer. Continue reading…
