Is Bonvoy Ambassador status worth it or is it a scam? I have the 100 nights but am $1100 away in dollars. Thanks in advance.

Ambassadors are very hit or miss under Bonvoy — and most are a miss. I’d stay at Marriotts if you still have business travel left, but I wouldn’t spend $1100 out of pocket

Scam

That’s two or maybe three nights in a tear one city traveling for business. Just do it. I have definitely benefited to some extent from the personalized perks.

My ambassador did book a personalized itinerary in CDMX for me, so maybe worth it?

I had a good experience with personalized experience on the Ambassador tier but other than that the perks seem the same as platinum. I wouldn’t pay out of pocket for it though

My ambassador has been great, and I’ve actually been upgraded several times. Sounds like luck of the draw? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yeah. I don't particularly care. I'm gunning for this any way. I don't mind spending $1000 to get there.

You still have two months. Should be an easy spend and need not go out of the way. I would just do it. But if from pocket definitely not worth it.

Worthless
