    Player 2 renewed Ambassador recently and is now sparkly till 2024. I’ve had the sparkly email but still only showing as valid till the end of this year. I’ve queried it via email, not mentioning Ambassador, of course.

    Please kindly keep us posted

    I got Welcome to Platinum a few days ago – email said end 2024, but website says end 2023.
    Seems to be purely from that Instant Platinum for anybody last summer.
    Only other non-random reason would be that I bought IC Ambassador for one year, in c2017.

    There’s a current fast track to hold and platinum offer. I’ve had an email for gold and then platinum despite already being gold

    Just got mine updated to Dec 2024 after getting the email, amb line was happy to do it but was reminded politely that I’d have to qualify next time through normal channels ie nights, so it may be the AMB route is also getting removed?

    Hi @RonnieB – good to hear you got extended too 🙂

    On the other point, I don’t think that extension of IHG status via the Ambassador renewal route is actually an advertised benefit, so hopefully the fact it wasn’t mentioned is for that reason alone. At least we don’t have to worry about it until the end of 2024 now…

    If I didn’t have a Creation card and didn’t get an e-mail but am diamond until 12/23 and have Ambassador is it worth a cheeky e-mail?

    I think if you didn’t get the email then you have little grounds for expecting an extension.

    Doesn’t Ambassador give you Platinum status as one of the perks if you’re not already at that level?

    So giving me plat is wrong, but i’m not complaining. I probably wont renew AMB until 2025 now.

    Another one here for who the app now says 2024. Email was received a few weeks ago.

    Just checked and diamond until 2024 here. This will mean I’ll more likely make cash bookings this year and save my points until next year knowing I’ll still have free breakfast then as well. So it’s a win win situation.
