Founders Card

I had a look.
My impression was that there are far too many offers, each worth far too little.

IHG AMB is US$225 (instant IHG Platinum). I’ve paid that before when I knew I had a few stays but wouldn’t get there on my own.

Throw in HH Gold and there’s tangible benefits with upgrades (both), brekky with HH.

Even if the Uber credit is limited to the US, I can use some next visit.

I’m already booked out for the next year or so, so that’s the main hesitation being able to use the peripheral benefits - if any are useful.

I thought ambassador had benefits of its own, however, vs the plat status which is marginal?

HH gold for 295USD is in itself a good offer IF you have an ideal use case- I’m thinking points purchase with HH and then 5 nights in Maldives or similar aspirational hotels where the breakfast cost and 5th night free would have a value around 1500-2000USD.

Again, extremely niche.
