I have been getting a couple every year for many years and now I have way more than I need. These are very nice and useful, made of solid metal with address label inside. You'll have enough for all your luggage and you can even give some to your friends and family.     InterContinental Royal Ambassador Referral Certificate/Voucher   This certificate will automatically get you the highest possible Elite-Status at all InterContinental Hotels and Resorts worldwide. It is usually very difficult to attain. Membership is by invitation only to the top 1% of InterContinental customers. One stay at an InterContinental and it pays for itself.   Royal Ambassador Status entitles you to exclusive benefits at all InterContinental hotels worldwide: Guaranteed upgrade to an Executive Room or Suite Complimentary unlimited use of the minibar Free movie of pay TV per stay Fruits and mineral water in your room upon arrival (I often get wine and champagne too) Guaranteed room availability with 24-hour advance reservation Guaranteed early check-in (8 am) Guaranteed late check-out (4 pm) Complimentary newspaper each morning Complimentary use of health club facilities (swimming pool, jacuzzi...) Welcome gift upon arrival (often something reflecting the local culture) Single-rate for double occupancy Double Priority Club Points per stay (in addition to 2000 base points you get 1000 points Platinum bonus and 1000 points Royal Ambassador bonus) Complimentary Platinum level membership in the Priority Club program which is applicable to the other brands of the InterContinental portfolio (Crowne Plaza, Hotel Indigo, Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Starbridge Suites and Candlewood Suites). As a Royal Ambassador, you also get the benefit of Platinum level membership in the Priority Club program which is applicable to the other brands of the InterContinental portfolio (Crowne Plaza, Hotel Indigo, Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Staybridge Suites and Candlewood Suites).   When you redeem the certificate you will have to pay the $150 USD membership fee for the Ambassador program if you are not already a member.  This fee is not part of the auction and is to be paid by credit card directly to InterContinental, using the form on the back of the certificate.  If you are already an Ambassador member you do not have to pay this fee - you just pay your usual membership annual renewal fees.   When you redeem the certificate, you will receive a welcome membership package from InterContinental that will include a complimentary Free Weekend Night Certificate at any InterContinental hotel of your choice, when you pay for the previous night. If you are lucky enough your membership package may even include another referral certificate like this one - but this is not guaranteed. They used to send all Royal Ambassadors the same membership kit but I heard that they fixed this glitch and started removing the referral certificates from membership kits of referred RAs. So don't hold your breath but if you are lucky to receive one, then you could refer another person to RA later.   The Referral Certificate must be mailed in by May 2009.   All bids are final - if you have any questions, please ask before bidding.
