New IHG PointBreaks list of 140 x 5,000 point hotels now bookable

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  new list of PointBreaks redemptions.

There is usually some pre-publicity for the list but, this time, IHG released it without any teasers.

These rooms are a fantastic deal.

All of the 140 hotels below are available NOW for just 5,000 IHG Rewards Club points per night, saving up to 25,000 points per night in some cases.

PointBreaks availability is very limited so book ASAP if you are interested. Bookings are refundable as with a standard reward reservation so there is nothing to lose.

You can book via the IHG PointBreaks page here or via the standard booking page here.

You can book these hotels for dates up to July 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.

To be honest, it is difficult to get excited about the list this time.  The only hotel which comes with a reputation is The Rosebank in Johannesburg pictured above.  However, if you need to visit one of the places on the list anyway then you’ve got yourself a bargain.

The Paris hotel is near Disneyland Paris if you are heading there.  The Crowne Plaza in Antwerp appears to be on the outskirts but manageable.

The booking page is here.

    Is anyone surprised by this list? This deal used to be the best promotion on the market but for the last year, maybe two it’s been woeful unless you’re visiting a non-descript place.

    • Rob says:

      I want to know what happened to all those other obscure Spanish HIX’s which used fo appear list in, list out!

  • Felix Flyer says:
    26 Apr26 April 08:33

    Stayed at Crown Plaza Antwerp many years ago. From recollection, it is by the motorway but was a short bus ride from outside the hotel into the city. Anyway Antwerp is well worth a visit.

  • Nick says:
    26 Apr26 April 09:10

    What a load of crap, I remember when the likes of CP Abu Dhabi as well as the Staybridge there used to feature!

  • Chris says:
    26 Apr26 April 09:41

    I’ll use a couple of the UK ones as I was intending to be in those areas anyway.

    Unusually there are two up here in Scotland this time which is a surprise.

    Glenrothes is a cracking little HIX on the edge of the town and is handy for exploring Fife. It also has some rooms with Kingsize beds which is a novelty for HIX plus the property only has forty rooms so it feels totally different to other HIXs. Wifi and mobile signal aren’t the greatest at it though.

    Strathclyde I’d personally avoid at the moment as its bang in the middle of the M74/M73 roadworks and accessing the hotel is tortuous at times. It was also one of the first HIXs in the UK and hasn’t seen much in the way of investment over the years. Still a bargain though as its only twenty minutes or so into Glasgow.

      its nice to see my hometown of Glenrothes mentioned on HfP. Although if anyone is visiting i recommend against a visit to the shopping centre, one of the main stores now seems to be Home Bargains.

      • Rob says:
        26 Apr26 April 12:02

        You should check out Rotherham these days, as I did a few weeks ago ….

      • Chris says:
        26 Apr26 April 16:11

        Yes the Kingdom Centre is looking a bit grim these days.

        On saying that I’m from Falkirk so can hardly talk!

  • Liz says:
    26 Apr26 April 09:44

    I could have switched a couple of my upcoming stays for our USA road trip but it cuts off 6 wks too early! Bummer!

  • Azza83 says:
    26 Apr26 April 13:11

    Only one I could of used this time was the HIX Chester Racecourse, but no longer showing any availability at any time (at least as far as the 5k pointbreaks are concerned) 🙁

    • Azza83 says:
      26 Apr26 April 13:28

      Scrap that! I’ve logged on as my wife instead and now I can see widespread availability (except Saturday nights) 🙂

  • Matt says:
    26 Apr26 April 15:32

    I understand 5K points are not what they used to be, however a better solution might be to bring in some new points break tiers at 10-20K a night for nicer properties. There’s got to be more hotels with excess inventory which they could put up for grabs!

    • Enigma368 says:
      27 Apr27 April 05:15

      I think if they started adding 35k or 40k properties to the list at a higher 10k price, most people would be happy. Could have properties in actual city centres, rather than far out suburbs or small towns which seems to be the norm now. Still pointbreaks are a good deal and I got a hotel nearish Seattle which was the one I wanted the most.

      • JamesWag says:
        29 Apr29 April 14:34

        They’re the ones they want to shift though, not the 40k central ones.
        Sadly they don’t run this promo for our benefit but for the chain’s 🙂
