Nye IHG Ambassador benefits

Iflg flyertalk ændres Ambassador programmet effektivt 1 marts -- her er sakset nogle opdateringer. Mit udløb 1 december og har ikke fornyet det, men med gratis morgenmad (selv kun for 1) kan det sagtens gøre jeg gør det inden jeg brænder næste stak points af.

Good news

• One free breakfast per night for all Ambassador members staying in Intercontinental
• Guaranteed Platinum membership when acquire Ambassador membership
• Complimentary weekend voucher will be delivered via E-certificate rather than paper

Some bad news

• Welcome fruit and Ambassador welcome gift will be changed to welcome fruit ONLY
• No more unlimited free mini bar for Royal Ambassador, but a credit of US$50 daily and a cap of USD$200 for the stay
• Earliest check in time is 10am, no longer 8am for RA

Some big changes, there is a new thing called Ambassador Benefit Guarantee:

• 4pm late check out is guaranteed for Ambassador members, otherwise a voucher of USD$50 or 10000 points will be given
• Room Upgrade Guarantee: if no upgrade, USD$50 credit or 10000 points will be given

 

Uh minibaren og kl. 8 check in, er det jeg bruger mest. Det var godt nok dårlige nyheder.
