Hi guys, I don't usually stay with IHG but I have some points to spare. I noticed that from Aug 26th the Athens Airport Holiday Inn is on the pointsbreak list, which suits me perfectly and I would like to book a room for August 29.
A few things are unclear to me though:
- Will these pointbreak specials be bookable for stays BEFORE september 1?
- From what time on august 26th will these be bookable? Midnight EU time? US time? Eastern, central, pacific?
Thanks!

Yes, from what I remember, once the new list is out, you can book immediate stays.
No definite time for the start, I think mostly around midday UK time, but could be wrong and can be different this time.

Just finished mapping the new list, I know some found this useful the last time. Here you go: Weekend Blitz - Blitz Deal: IHG PointBreaks through October 31, 2013
Sometimes properties get misplaced or omitted on the map, please respond if you see anything I need to correct. Good luck booking tomorrow!

me too... Did you read reviews about its location and see the 2nd photo on tripadvisor of the "wonderful" view... But perhaps for 5k/night all of it can be overlooked.. After looking at photos of Sheraton (using spg points) this hotel location looks ugly.

Doesn't look like the HI BKK has any availability unless they prepare it now. Sorry, looks like system is down, can't book anywhere free nights.
