IHG Rewards Club (the Holiday Inn, HI Express, Crowne Plaza, InterContinental etc group) has just published its new list of heavily discounted PointBreaks redemptions.
You can book these hotels for stays until 31st May.
These hotels are bookable NOW via ihg.com. Popular hotels will use up their allocation of reduced price rooms quickly, so book soon if you are interested. As with all IHG Rewards Club reward nights, you can cancel without penalty at any time and get your points back.
PointBreaks has changed …..
Historically all PointBreaks rooms cost a flat 5,000 IHG Rewards Club points per night.
This was a great deal, except for the teeny tiny fact that the selection of hotels had been getting progressively worse for the last couple of years. If you were looking for a good deal in a major tourist centre then you were going to be disappointed – although it was handy if you wanted a weekend break in Doncaster. This has now changed.
The 95 hotels on the list below are priced at between 5,000 and 15,000 IHG Rewards Club points per night. In general the quality of hotels included has gone up since the 5,000 point cap was removed, although at the end of the day it always depends on how the list fits around your travel plans.
What are the PointBreaks highlights?
Not surprisingly the better deals are at the 15,000 points level. Of the hotels in Europe:
Crowne Plaza Manchester Oxford Road is BRAND NEW and very pleasant. See photo above. We reviewed Crowne Plaza Manchester Oxford Road late last year – click here. It is well worth 15,000 points.
Holiday Inn Express London Hammersmith is also 15,000 points. This is a decent option for anyone looking for a discounted option very close to central London, and of course breakfast is included.
The Holiday Inn Express in Hamburg is fairly new but Hamburg rates are generally low and you may still get a better deal by paying for somewhere better
InterContinental Sofia looks like the highest-end option in Europe. This hotel is brand new (May 2018) and is a good excuse to try Bulgaria if you’ve never been. There is a daily BA flight to Sofia which takes three hours.
