Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

New IHG PointBreaks list of 160 x 5,000 point hotels, book on Monday

Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission.  See here for all partner links.

Yesterday, IHG Rewards Club (the Holiday Inn, HI Express, Crowne Plaza, InterContinental etc group) released a “preview” of the new list of PointBreaks redemptions.

These rooms are a fantastic deal.

All of the 160 hotels below will be available for just 5,000 IHG Rewards Club points per night from Monday, saving up 30,000 points per night in some cases.

IHG Rewards Club

PointBreaks availability is very limited so book ASAP if you are interested, as soon as bookings open up on Monday. Bookings are refundable as with a standard reward reservation so there is nothing to lose.  IHG works on US time so I would not expect the offer to be available until mid-afternoon in the UK.

You can book via the IHG PointBreaks page here or via the standard booking page here.  If the PointBreaks page has not yet been updated, it does not necessarily mean that the special deals below will not already be bookable – do a search on the hotel you want to check.

You will be able to book these hotels for dates up to October 31st.

You allowed a maximum of two bookings per individual hotel. Each booking can be for as many nights as you want.

Remember that if you attempt to amend your booking later by dropping a night or two the whole booking will reprice at the full rate.

Looking at the European properties, the highlights seem to be:

Holiday Inn Terminal 5 at Heathrow (shuttle bus required, it is not at Terminal 5!)

Holiday Inn Express Hamburg City Centre, purely because I like Hamburg

Holiday Inn Express Rotterdam Central Station, because whether or not you like Rotterdam – and the museums are good – you are plugged into the cheap and quick Dutch rail network for trips to The Hague, Amsterdam etc.  The photo above is from Rotterdam.

Holiday Inn Express Lisbon – Oeiras, because it is a good Winter destination spot.  The hotel is on a business park but claims to be walkable to a station and, anyway, a car would be useful for visiting Sintra, Cascais, Estoril etc.

Thanks to John at Loyalty Lobby for breaking out the list into countries and states – the list provided by IHG is only broken out by continent!

    Some poor Yank’s gonna be upset……….booking London Dartford……expecting a view of Tower Bridge, getting a view of Queen Elizabeth II Bridge.

  • The_Real_A says:

    I found myself at Kettering last time it was on points break. Huge room, great breakfast, nice bean to cup coffee, friendly staff and well looked after… Completely surpassed my expectations.

  • Craig says:

    John probably deliberately stuck Uruguay into the United States to yet again catch out people who copy his work, with or without giving credit.

  • Johnny says:

    Does anyone know, is it possible to book 2 pointsbreak at the same hotel on the same nights. I understand I will need to make 2 bookings as I need 2 rooms for 2 days for Heathrow T5. I got 10,000 points but sounds daft, tempted to buy another 10,000 points for US£125 as it would be cheaper than paying the current nightly rate of £82.45 (average) total £164.90

    • Chris says:

      You can book two rooms for the same dates, I’ve done it before and never had an issue.

      Rather than buying the points it will be cheaper to do points & cash then cancel as thats only $70 which will be roughly £65-£70 depending on the current exchange rate.

      • Johnny says:

        Thanks. If i use the cash and points and then cancel trick, does the points get added back to my account immediately or very soon after. Keen to make the pointsbreak booking as soon as it is available on monday.

        • Dave R says:

          Yes, usually its immediate.

          • Chris says:

            Definitely returned immediately and much cheaper than buying them.

            Enjoy your PBs 🙂

          • Chris says:

            Sorry, meant add that it would be advisable to be checking all the time from early afternoon on Monday for availability being release. I’d imagine that Heathrow will be popular with people the world over due to the location and will probably go very quickly in comparison to Burnley, Darlington, Telford and Kettering.

        • Rob says:

          Immediately

          • Johnny says:

            Thanks for your advice. I booked a room with cash and points, then cancelled so got my 20,000 points i wanted. First booking at heathrow t5 of 2 nights went ok. Second booking, no availability on the second night!. So thinking quickly i booked the first night with 5,000 points which leaves me to ponder what to do with the second night. I could pay £92ish or use 19000 avios points for the second night. Oh well i got a bargain.

  • Jen says:

    Anyone know when this is starting?? Been refreshing for hours now…!
