The IHG Ambassador program is different. By purchasing a membership, you not only unlock <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/hotels\/ihg-one-rewards\/ihg-platinum-elite\/\" rel=\"noopener\">IHG Platinum Elite status<\/a> but also gain access to one of the program\u2019s most lucrative perks: the Ambassador Complimentary Weekend Night certificate.<\/p>\n<p>This benefit can easily save hundreds of dollars on a two-night stay, especially at upscale InterContinental properties in pricey destinations. Of course, there are rules and restrictions to keep in mind. Here\u2019s how the certificate works, how to redeem it, and what to watch for when planning your next weekend getaway.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"What_is_InterContinental_Ambassador\">What is InterContinental Ambassador?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>IHG offers several levels of <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/hotels\/ihg-one-rewards\/ihg-elite-status\/\" rel=\"noopener\">IHG elite status<\/a> for members who stay at IHG properties around the world. However, the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/hotels\/ihg-one-rewards\/ihg-ambassador\/\" rel=\"noopener\">InterContinental Ambassador program<\/a> is different. In addition to offering benefits exclusively at InterContinental Hotels, IHG Ambassador status offers benefits at other IHG properties as well. That's because you're granted IHG Platinum Elite status just for buying into the program.<\/p>\n<p>The benefits of being an IHG Ambassador are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Guaranteed one category room upgrade<\/li>\n<li>Guaranteed extended 4 pm check-out<\/li>\n<li><strong>Complimentary weekend night<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Platinum Elite status in IHG One Rewards<\/li>\n<li>Restaurants & bars credit of up to USD20 for every stay<\/li>\n<li>Complimentary mineral water<\/li>\n<li>Complimentary internet<\/li>\n<li>Dedicated check-in area<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We're going to touch on that third bullet point down, which &#8212; in my opinion &#8212; is the best perk in this list.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"How_Does_the_IHG_Ambassador_Complimentary_Weekend_Night_Work\">How Does the IHG Ambassador Complimentary Weekend Night Work?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The IHG Ambassador Complimentary Weekend Night is effectively a buy one get one free coupon. You'll get the second night of your two-night stay free when staying on a weekend. For purposes of this voucher, a weekend is described as a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday &#8212; unless you're booking in the Middle East, where a weekend is defined as Thursday, Friday, or Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>In order to use the certificate, you'll need to book a specific cash rate. That means you won't be able to stack the IHG Ambassador Complimentary Weekend Night with a stay using points. Even worse, prepaid rates or discounted member rates aren't eligible for this perk.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"How_to_Redeem_the_IHG_Ambassador_Free_Weekend_Night\">How to Redeem the IHG Ambassador Free Weekend Night<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span id=\"1_Find_your_reward\">1.

Book and receive a credit back for a free night at check-in<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Now, you're ready to book. One thing that might be confusing to some people, especially if you're used to using a free night certificate using points, is that the full cost of all booked nights will be displayed upon your reservation, but the second weekend night will be credited to your bill at check-in when a valid ID and <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/hotels\/ihg-one-rewards\/\" rel=\"noopener\">IHG<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> One Rewards<\/a> number are presented. In other words, if you don't show up, or you try and let someone else check in, you're going to be charged for both nights. Only when you check out is the second night fully waived.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Key_Details_About_InterContinental_Ambassador_Free_Nights\">Key Details About InterContinental Ambassador Free Nights<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are a few quirks and unique qualities to remember about these certificates.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>These certificates aren't transferable, and you must be the one who stays and checks in. You can't give them to a friend or family member.<\/li>\n<li>Not all properties are available all the time, so plan well in advance.<\/li>\n<li>It's only valid for room and tax, so if there are any resort fees or other associated charges, you'll have to pay those on the free night.<\/li>\n<li>You can only book these online, not in person or via the phone, and they must be booked in advance.<\/li>\n<li>They expire 12 months from the date of issue, and your stay must be completed by that day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Want to stay on top of your certificate expiration date?

While you\u2019ll need to book through the dedicated link at a modestly higher rate, the ability to turn a two-night weekend stay into effectively a \u201cbuy one, get one free\u201d deal is hard to beat \u2014 especially in high-cost markets like New York, London, or Paris.<\/p>\n<p>For travelers who can plan ahead and take advantage of this perk each year, the savings alone can offset much (if not all) of the cost of joining Ambassador. If you enjoy IHG hotels and want a reliable way to stretch your travel budget further, this certificate is a benefit well worth using.<\/p>\n<div id=\"ftoc\"><div id=\"toc_container\" class=\"toc_light_blue no_bullets\"><p class=\"toc_title\">Page Contents<\/p><ul class=\"toc_list\"><li><a href=\"#What_is_InterContinental_Ambassador\">What is InterContinental Ambassador?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#How_Does_the_IHG_Ambassador_Complimentary_Weekend_Night_Work\">How Does the IHG Ambassador Complimentary Weekend Night Work?<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#How_to_Redeem_the_IHG_Ambassador_Free_Weekend_Night\">How to Redeem the IHG Ambassador Free Weekend Night<\/a><ul><li><a href=\"#1_Find_your_reward\">1.
