IHG PointBreaks – the World’s best value hotel stays are back

A sensationalist headline? Not really. IHG PointBreaks give you nights at selected IHG hotels for just 5000 IHG Rewards points.

In my view the only offer that comes close to that is the SPG 3000 point weekend rate for Category 2 properties or, on occasion, Hilton Points & Money bookings. So, the obvious conclusion is – if a PointBreaks stay works for you, snap it up.

The new round of PointBreaks applies to 150 hotels globally, with the majority in the USA, and the full list of properties are set out below. However, bookings cannot be made until Monday 24 November 2014, for stays from 24 November 2014, to February 28 2015.

You will be able to access the offers via this link, but be aware that until Monday this contains only the current PointBreaks deals, not the new ones.

You can book at the 5000 points rate for as many nights as you want, but if you then cancel any night, the whole remaining stay will reprice to the standard rate, not the 5000 point rate. You can’t get round this by segmenting your bookings, as it’s a maximum of 2 bookings per person per hotel.

The full list of properties is set out below (massive nod to Loyalty Lobby for formatting this list):
