TPG valuation is 0.7 cents per point. General consensus is that his valuations are inflated.

Not so much but rather considering the 5th night free

Right now there are so many promos for bonus points (hotel, air, car, credit card) I’m hoarding and paying cash for my trips.

I also think because of all these promos they’re going to devalue their points in the future when travel fully returns so I’m trying to find that sweet spot to use them.

I’m in the IHG Diamond challenge now and unlikely to get to the 10 nights total. I got the offer for $200 for Ambassador and 20,000 bonus points after a 2 night stay. I see the free weekend night certificate with a 2 night paid stay, but it seems you have to book an inflated rate for those 2 nights. Is it worth me getting Ambassador (and keeping Diamond) if I only have 5-10 planned nights at Intercontinental in 2023? Not very familiar with IHG to clearly decide.
