Master Priority Club bonus thread.

[leemack]

Hi all, I am a Priority Privilege member & also a Gold Ambassador, if I use my PP 2 nights for the price of one to book a room for my daughter & her BF and the Ambassador free weekend night voucher to book our room, what level of room will I need to book for each of us to access the IHG club?

e.g will I need to book a club room with the PP voucher and a standard room for ourselves on the Ambassador voucher?

Thanks in advance.

No matter how you pay, upgrades are based on status of the occupier, so you need to book a club room for your daughter and one level below that for yourself.

Last weekends stay came through,
12k points for two nights at the HI flinders lane. Not bad considering all the get X points in your next stay bonuses got used the week before.

Thanks again Markis!

Ok, so I have booked the KING STANDARD CITY SIDE ROOM using my free weekend night voucher, can anyone confirm if the upgrade for this it the KING CLUB CITY SIDE ROOM?

Is that the Sydney IC? If so then no - the Ambassador upgrade is to an EASTERN HARBOUR VIEW room with no Club access.

leemack my understanding is that you will get the upgrade but only the benefits that come with the original booking ie: if you book a room that does not have club access and you are upgraded to a club room you will not get club access, this is based on my experience with Syd & Melb IC and advice from IC Ambassador. Suggest you check with the hotel so you are not disappointed.

Thats not correct, you cannot have a club room that does not have club access if it is one level up, under the ambassador program you are guaranteed an upgrade by one level, if the next step is club then you must get access otherwise its not an upgrade. Where it may get messy is if they upgrade you from a city view room to a harbour view room on the club level, same room as you would get booking club but no club access, but in that situation its not a one level upgrade and as per the terms and conditions: Any Club Lounge access given to Ambassadors is solely at the discretion of the hotel and is not a benefit that is included in Ambassador status. Same applies to some hotels where suites include club access by default, in Melbourne you get one or the other not both, again this is because it may be more than a one level upgrade.

 

[leemack]

Thanks. I ended up changing the booking to a King Club as we wanted to ensure we have club access. It will be interesting to see what the upgrade will be from there.

I stayed on a PP night last week at Melbourne IC and as Markis said, I was offered either Club access or a room level up. I booked a room with Club Access so that I could get the suiteupgrade I wanted. However, I couldn't get the room I wanted booking online so I emailed the hotel directly and they had a lot more availability.

Whenever I've emailed any of the Australian IC's about upgrades, they've always been very helpful.

One night at HI Melbourne Airport last sunday got me 35,379 points.

Friday night as a mere gold at the same venue reaped over 34,500. A Platinum would have scored over 35,500.

A quick thanks to markis10, and everyone else that keeps adding to this list... I just checked the points credited for what would normally be a 2 night, 3,000 point stay as an IHG Plat at the IC Grand Stanford HK... I was credited with 38,100 points (including a couple of big win credits)! Good fun.

Cheers.

Cheers markis10,

Haven't stayed at an IHG hotel for a year but then checked out your codes again. Was a bit concerned having a gamble on the codes working but switched from QF earn to IHG earn... Just turned a 3600 point stay at a CP into 37K points. Great stuff!

If I included the Big Win credits for this stay, it's over 38K ...
