The small print..

• “Must be an InterContinental® Ambassador member to qualify” – Not actually – only hotels without the “*” on the offer page
• “Offer only available when booked online on rate category IKICN“
• “Ambassador membership card must also be presented on check-in to qualify for this offer.”
• “Rooms booked online on rate IKICN will be priced equal to the best flexible rate where hotels have availability” -  Good news – on the rates I checked the cancellation policy still remains the as the best flexible rate!
