As soon as you logon with your PC account, and try to access http://www.priorityclub.com/rewards/...-reward-nights you get "We are sorry, our system is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later or contact the Priority Club Rewards Service Center for assistance."
The link you posted takes me to a listing of the hotels available.

It looks like access is restricted by cookies.
It doesn't show any 'Last Minute Reward nights' for me, but I can see the US ones if I log out, and delete my login cookie.
That is, if I am signed-in, or have my id remembered, then it won't show any. I guess this is also true for other people outside the US, but I suppose it could just be personal!

Really, IHG??? Seriously???
I know IHG's IT is bad, but this is just good old fashioned stupid.
ETA: OK, now I'm really annoyed. When I log in and try to do a dummy-booking for one of these hotels (I actually found 2 that are weekend-away worthy for me), I get the following message:
The item you selected is not available in your region. Please contact your nearest Priority Club Rewards Service Center for assistance.

and if I try and book, it says
'The item you selected is not available in your region. Please contact your nearest Priority Club Rewards Service Center for assistance.'
I didn't see that in the t&cs.
So, no european hotels available (yet?), and we aren't even allowed to book the US ones.

That's what I get if I am signed-in, or it has remembered my location.
By signing out, and deleting the cookie, I can then view the list - but still can't book them as I have to sign-in again!

I see a listing of hotels with pictures, but you can only sort by points Low to High or High to Low. You can't sort by region so you have to scroll through them all and hopefully you know where the hotel is because it only lists the city. At least with the old Point Breaks the list was broken out by state.

MattGreenfield-If you click on "United States" on the left, you get a listing of hotels by state.
I'm still not 100% sure I understand this program. Wouldn't they have a much better shot of getting people to spontaneously plan a weekend if the offerings were a bit better than Sylacauga, Alabama?

It's now for US only!
Hi all,
I've sent an email yesterday to IHG to inform them that this offer might not be suitable for some Middle East countries where the weekend days are Thursday and Friday.
I've received the following replay today:
Dear Mr. xxxx
Please be advised that beginning May 2011, Priority Club Rewards will lunch another Rewards Nights feature that will allow members to redeem Rewards Nights at discounted price. This new feature is called Last Minute Rewards.
Last Minute Rewards are available for stays at select properties in the United States (for now) on the first weekend of the month only.
We apologize for the inconvenience it may have caused you.

Holy cow. I seriously have never seen the amount of whining, complaining and impatience in FT forums that can compare to the PC board. If everything doesn't run perfectly smooth and completely error-free from the first moment a promotion begin, PC sucks, their IT sucks, and life sucks in general. Try relaxing and give the guys some time to work the kinks out. Geesh. 
And if it still doesn't meet your entitled standards for an acceptable promotion, such as (hear in a high-pitched, whiny voice...) "It's too hard to search for a hotel!" "There's no hotels where I want to go!" "Only one weekend a month?!" "50% off isn't as good as PointBreaks"...etc.here's an idea: Get over it and don't participate! Because PC can only hand out so much cheese.
