   Oh Rob you’re such a tease 😛

   Whatever the changes I’m sure that HfP’ers will rise to the challenge and still get the best value out of them.

   Coincidence that the IHG booking platform has changed? IC site won`t let me book for points….

     I can still book for points across both website and app…

   I’m wondering if IHG are changing Pointbreaks. To be honest the offering over the last few releases hasn’t been inspiring.

      Following our IT revamp we have aggressive cacheing in place. Most of what you see is not now served from our servers but is stored either in your browser or with Cloudflare. This means that changes to, say, the home page do not appear even though you click refresh as you are served a cached version.

      You are, or the news was? Your PC had probably cached the home page if you didn’t see it at 1.01!

      Thanks. Someone mentioned that recently but it wasn’t in either of the Locals near us.
