    Hi knowledgeable folk!

    Does anyone know if I do an eStandby on a reward night and “win” does it upgrade the reward night to an eligible stay? if so, despite being diamond and amb it would be worth me doing so to meet a target….

    Reward nights already count as an eligible stay for status and milestone rewards.

    But not the AMB offer of 20k after 2 nights…. I can move another stay to IC if needed but would be nice to not have to!

    This is a reply to NL but I messed up!

    Open your booking, copy address, log out of your account, go back to the booking address and will appear. Most of the time a bit rubbish – but this one is a nice to have upgrade which would be even better if it triggers the offer!

    I was the original proponent of this method but it stopped working for me some time last year. I might have another try though!

    This has also reminded me I’ve got an email confirmation for a very reasonable upgrade to a suite at The George in April, may have to argue that one with them!

    They do not

    Then please show me in the T&Cs where it says that.

    Because when I used that offer for a stay last October I was credited with both nights automatically as well as the 20k bonus points.

    Nights, yes. 20k bonus as per the Ambassador offer, no. (need qualifying stay)

    Maybe IHG IT magic.

    And I was referring to “nights” when I answered the original question which mentioned “eligible stays”

    I never said the bonus 20k points counted as qualifying because they aren’t.

    You responded “those also count” to my comment on AMB offer – but thanks and back to the original question (phrased differently) – do we think estandby will count as a qualifying stay for that AMB offer of 20k after 2 nights?
