Can't complain, I'm on a project near to Runcorn at the moment and paying for my own hotel, 3 nights a week. Just spent 110,000 points and saved myself a big chunk of cash.

all I can say is wow. Is it April 1st ? This can't be the real list. And now its 2.5 months between lists, wow, just wow. I can normally always find a few jem's on every list, I'm not super picky, I don't expect like a $500 downtown hotel in Paris or something. But wow this is just pathetic. I'm going to seriously have to rethink my loyalty to PC cause Club Carlson has really been winning me over with amazing promos.

Cuiaba, Brazil works for me! 
I wish they would have held over CP Belem though.
My fellow Aussies will not be happy with the Oceania list-or lack thereof.

it's been said 10 times already, but holy **** this is horrible. I see one IC in the entire world, and a spattering of CPs.

:-). I've stayed at worse. Runcorn was dreadful, but the new manager (ex Chester South) is starting to turn it around.

I have deleted a few post with names of hotels availabe for 5k points before the list was published. Since the list is now published, I have deleted these post to make it easier to read the thread.

I agree that the Europe list is pretty poor. On a personal note though, i just saved 15,000 pts on a Toulouse night I already had booked. So that's something at least ...
