In addition to its One Rewards program, IHG has a separate paid membership InterContinental Ambassador<\/a> designed exclusively for its luxury brands. The value of this membership is arguable, as you can already earn free breakfast and even club lounge access with One Rewards, however its true merit is unpublicised.<\/p>\n\n\n

The Ambassador membership<\/a> comes with complimentary One Rewards Platinum <\/em>status. If you are already Diamond <\/em>however, joining or renewing your membership has a certain chance of extending your Diamond status by another year<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s not guaranteed to work, and since it’s just an Easter egg you can’t complain to IHG if the trick fails. I just renewed my Ambassador online for \u00a3200 and it worked (again) like a charm, phewww!<\/p>\n\n\n
