If you really want to guarantee it, just find a Cat 1 hotel with mobile check in and book two nights. Just mobile check in and don’t bother showing up. You’ll be out 15,000 points, but you’ll get your Ambassador (not sure that’s actually a worthwhile trade off but ymmv).
Yeah ambassador status might not be worth it. Once you hit platinum and can access lounges, i feel like it doesn’t really matter. You’re already at 75% bonus for being Titanium. All you get now is a “personal concierge” to help you book all the travel you can do on the app in a fraction of the time.
The only times the concierge comes in handy is when you have a qualm and you can tattle to them and they’ll throw you some points. I got my reservation walked on one night, called my concierge and i got 90,000 points. Maybe i could have done that without her, maybe not. I’m leaning on the side that i could have gotten that without her, but it was nice i didn’t have to wait on hold for 30 minutes and ask to “speak to a manager” 8 times.
That’s my two cents - do with it what you will.
They will not give it to you.
