For the next six weeks, I sat on making the decision. I wasn't positive that I wanted to pull the trigger. Paying 32,000 points or $200 is a lot for status that I might use infrequently.
Last weekend, I pulled the trigger and spent 32,000 points on the Ambassador status. My decision to use points rather than cash was easy decision. Due to the IHG's The Big Win Promotion, I have a good stash of points.
Four days after I applied, I received this email:
My status with IHG already reflects the ambassador status:
My first stay at an Intercontinental Hotel is next week. I am excited to see what the status gets me . . .
