You are right that could be a possibility if you verified the before and after availability for 5000.

Booked the EVEN in Rockville for an upcoming business trip. It's pretty far out on the red line metro and the metro isn't cheap in DC so between $5 metro tickets and the hour transit time to get anywhere I'm not sure if this one is going to be worth keeping. Property looks nice though and is at least close to the metro.
Also booked a few weeks at the San Jose CP. Definitely seems to be the best urban / walkable location of all the listed properties so I'm not sure why it isn't getting more love...

I said it was close to the metro in my comment... just that it's about as far outside of DC as one can get and still have metro access so you have to consider the ticket costs / commuting time vs cheap and more central alternatives in Crystal City. Mid March to Mid April around cherry blossom season this property will be a steal compared to anything else going ^

The hotel in Salt Lake City, Murray, Utah is still showing up at 20,000 points. I called IHG and the rep told me that that hotel is not on the list. I told her that it is showing up on my list. She said that it may have been revised but she had an email and the email does not have any hotels in Utah. Has anyone had any luck booking that hotel. My husband is going this weekend and I was trying to grab 5 nights. I know that the limit is 2.

Have you tried to call? I don't have much confidence in the customer service reps that answer the phone. Every time they transfer me to someone else, I get disconnected. I am in a hurry to book this because my husband leaves tomorrow. I would really love to get this reservation.

I would guess until http://www.ihg.com/hotels/us/en/glob...ds/pointbreaks is updated, IHG has not directly officially stated which hotels are on the list, right?

Well, I've been able to book 1 of the 2 properties I was interested in. The other one doesn't seem loaded yet (12 noon EST).
This system -- "it loads when it loads" -- seems set up to waste the maximum amount of customer time possible.
