The ambassador benefits only apply to intercontinental hotels though. Not all IHG brands.
The main reason I’ve held of AMB for years (as I was already Plat). Now Diamond the money spent for for AMB should pay for itself and then some.

Plus Kimpton and Regent have been added as a new promotion to those who renewed or signed up in the last quarter of 2022. Keep an eye out to see if repeated for those thinking of a new membership.
 
My account was recently downgraded from Diamond to the bottom tier of status. I'm guessing that those who bought Ambassador did not have that experience.

There are reports on FT that some people who used the Ambassador extension option have lost Diamond status too, but mine is still showing end of 2024 expiry, so we'll see.
 
My account is still showing Diamond but expiry date 31 Dec 22
 
When I log in I see a message that status's are being reviewed and decision on keeping will be made by end of March. I thought since I earned Diamond in 2022 I would automatically keep if for 2023 and the requalification only comes into play for 2024.

I didn't take up the Ambassador offer with the 20k points before end of December, and am in two minds about whether it would be worth it unless my Diamond gets extended as I mainly stay at Indigo and Voco; diamond is great for the free breaky if ther eisnt a decent rate that includes it.
 
I renewed my Ambassador 1 week ago and status updated until December 24.
I am going for 40 nights this year so I can get the 40 night reward of lounge access for 12 months. But now I have finalised the bookings I will requalify diamond this year on points.
 
Unfortunately I am not eligible for this offer , not sure why. I am currently Platinum with IHG.
 
For those who signed up after the New Year and have a 2024 Diamond expiry, I’m seeing anecdotal evidence around the Interwebs that the expiration date has been brought back by IHG. In many cases to December 2022! Too good to be true it seems. IHG giveth and taketh away.
