Thanks all for the replies. My ambassador has lapsed couple of days ago and was tempted into renewing it purely for the further upgrade on this stay (in 10 days) but seems it’s hit and miss so on that basis won’t renew and save the $225 for now

As a Diamond Ambassador for 3 years (until 31/12/2024) I only ever had 1-cat upgrades in all my IC stays, so AMB effectively only gave me 4pm checkout and 1 free weekend night each year (with a significantly higher rate for the paid night to cancel out much of the saving).

Even as Accor Silver I get better upgrades than what IHG usually offers.
