IHG One Rewards and InterContinental Ambassador have discontinued the sending of member kits as part of IHG’s broader sustainability initiatives. Members are now able to view their digital card via their IHG app or account on the web. The weekend certificate is now a digital coupon within the member’s account.

Ambassador benefits only apply at InterContinental Hotels & Resorts.  However, your IHG^® One Rewards Spire Elite benefits apply to the entire IHG family of brands.

The complimentary weekend night is valid for 12 months from the date of issue.

The complimentary weekend night is valid on the second night of a minimum two-night paid weekend stay on the Ambassador Complimentary Weekend Night Rate at any InterContinental Hotels & Resorts property worldwide, excluding InterContinental Alliance Resorts.

The night is immediately available for use upon enrolment in the programme and is automatically deposited in the member’s account, however, advance reservations are required and when joining the Ambassador programme in hotel, the Weekend Night cannot be redeemed for the current stay.

To book your complimentary weekend night please login to your IHG One Rewards account online. Please ensure that bookings are made on the Ambassador Complimentary Weekend Night Rate (“AMB Certificate”). The certificate is not valid on any other rate.

A valid ID & member number must be presented at time of check-in or the hotel may decline the booking.

The complimentary weekend night is valid only for the member who has InterContinental Ambassador status, and is not transferable. Sale or barter of the complimentary night will render it void. The complimentary night is valid for room and tax only.

The weekend is defined as Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, except in the Middle East where hotels may define the weekend as Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.

Immediately upon enrolment or renewal of an InterContinental Ambassador membership and invitation to Royal Ambassador, a complimentary weekend night, valid for the second night of a paid weekend stay, will be credited to the member’s account.
