Note that this offer is NOT mentioned anywhere when you enroll or renew InterContinental Ambassador. It is disclosed on the Ambassador program T&Cs, however. You can usually renew your Ambassador status within two months of expiry.
IHG occasionally runs promotions to get members to sign up or renew their InterContinental Ambassador status and has now launched a new offer valid between September 1 – December 31, 2022. UPDATE: The T&CS state that this offer is valid for enrollments September 2 – December 31, 2022, and renewals between now and the end of the year.
Those that renew under this offer and consume two qualifying nights (no awards or Cash + Points) by January 31, 2023, at InterContinental, Kimpton, or Regent brands, will get additional 20,000 bonus points.
The paid Ambassador membership also comes with 15,000 bonus points (one paid by points does not).

Guaranteed 4 PM check out at InterContinental Hotels
Guaranteed one category upgrade at InterContinental Hotels
Free Weekend Night Voucher (second night free when paid first at best flexible)
IHG One Rewards Platinum status

IHG InterContinental Ambassador Sign Up & Renew Promotion Until July 31, 2021
InterContinental Ambassador membership makes sense if you have a few nights yearly at InterContinental hotels, need a 4 PM late check-out, or the fastest way to IHG One Rewards Platinum membership.
Renewing or enrolling for InterContinental Ambassador has also, at least until now, renewed the Spire Elite or Diamond elite status.
If you pay $200 and get 35,000 points, the purchase is essentially cost neutral, and everything else is just gravy,
Here are the terms and conditions of the Ambassador renewal and sign-up offers:
Renewal Offer
*To participate in the "Renew Ambassador, stay two nights, earn 20k bonus points" offer (the "Offer"), an individual must be an existing InterContinental® Ambassador member and must first renew their membership in the InterContinental® Ambassador programme.
