Created WIKI Mar2017 purely to add the "new" IHG PB List URL as I can't find by screen navigation since IHG changed the reservation screens etc, and the old url if saved no longer works either.
Just got fed up trying to find , much easier to store in wiki, hope this helps others

Use this URL for "Live" PB Listing:
https://www.ihg.com/rewardsclub/content/us/en/redeem-rewards/pointbreaks.html
The PREVIEW list usually appears on IHG's blog first

something sneaky with buffalo
how is it that sept 1-4 was available just before pointbreaks went live and then a minute later was not available as well as all weekends in sept oct.
doesnt make sense..seems the hotel may have done something so that no one could book on weekends

I think there's a min stay or different rooms available issue, i was looking at end of October and while a five day stay starting on 27th October is still available, a two day stay starting on the saturday (28th) October isn't...

It is not that they are gone, it is that there is a minimum stay over the weekend. So you cannot book just Saturday night - but Fri-Sat, or Sat-Sun should work fine.

Just getting sorry system error. Spire phone claims at least one booked that showed error. They claim they cannot push any bookings through now. Nice

I was able to make one successful booking, then every other attempt resulted in a system error. Retried several times, and no dice. Strangely, while the booking page did error out, IHG still deducted 5k points from my account for each attempted night. I can't yet see if the reservations actually went through, as the site and app are currently jacked up and won't show future bookings. My bet is those reservations are not good, as I never got any confirmation email for any of those, whereas I did for my single successful booking before IHG's tech went haywire. Looks like IHG brought over their tech people from the accelerate promotions to take over their main website now.

Ya, old page still.
You can work from preview, I've looked at a couple, and as others said, you get the 5K rate.
Just be ware of the phantom double bookings. Had two the last time. Have not pulled trigger on anything so far.

Just to note, the reservations probably did go through, even if you didn't get an email. I accidentally double booked one location for a set of dates. I didn't get a confirmation email for either. But, when I canceled one of them, I did get the cancellation email.

Same here. One of my existing bookings is on the list. I was just trying to book and the system crashed.
In fact all my upcoming reservations no longer display!
Called in IHG support the rep said yes their system had issues and they had sent emails to tech support to resolve the issues.
She was not able to see the property available on her end while I could see it online but the system wont let me book it.
Only 10K saving not a big loss but a huge disappointment nonetheless especially not able to see any upcoming reservation when I am finalizing them for the trip. Big

Tried Buffalo myself for several dates over the last week of August (want to catch a Bison's ballgame) and nothing.
But glitches on the site continue. I cannot pull up any previously made bookings on the main website, and using the app gets a message "no such reservation" when I click on the displayed bookings. Called the Ambassador line and the agent got the same message when I asked him to check the same bookings (wanted to ensure my Point Break booking was there before I then cancelled my revenue booking for those night at a different property in Madrid).
So major issues at IHG when they loaded these PBs...it was working normally before noon.
