Point Breaks

Every couple of months IHG releases a list of hotels that can be booked for 5,000 points per night called Point Breaks. In the past this list has included some of their higher end properties including several really nice Intercontinentals. The last list had a dearth of great properties, so I was hopeful this newest list would be an improvement.

As you can see from the title, I was wrong. Today IHG released their latest list which is available for bookings through July 31, 2014. Absent from the list are any Intercontinental brand hotels and outside of a few Crowne Plaza & Indigo locations, it is mostly Staybridge Suites, Holiday Inn & Holiday Inn Express branded hotels.

Analysis

This list is especially disappointing when it comes to international hotels. For example, there are only three hotels in all of Asia. Most of the hotels are lower end properties located in the United States & Canada. There are a few Hotel Indigos & Crowne Plazas, but they are few and far between. Additionally, as is usually the case with U.S. Point Break hotels, most of the properties are in more secluded areas.

There certainly isn’t anything on this list to plan a vacation around. With that said, if any of the properties line up with your current travel plans, then I highly suggest giving the list a look since 5,000 points really is a bargain. I will most likely be in Chicago next month, so I am looking at one of the properties there for example.

You can book the hotels here and I have included the full list of Point Breaks properties below. As a note, IHG now limits members to two bookings per hotel during the Point Breaks period.
