There's a new batch of PointBreaks hotel room specials from IHG / Holiday Inn hotels, for now till April 30, 2018.

PointBreaks are reward stays available starting at 5,000 points.
They also include offers for 5,000, 10,000 or 15,000 points... I'd consider 10,000 or 15,000 as "not bad", but 5,000 can be a great deal.

If you don't have points, you can purchase 5,000 points for US $67.50 from the IHG website. (Higher quantities get slightly cheaper.)

Better yet, (I believe) there is a way that IHG members who already have at least 5,000 points can buy 5,000 points for US $40, or buy 10,000 points (2 nights' worth) for US $70. This workaround is discussed in other threads. PM me if you have questions.

Other methods are discussed starting on page 262 of this thread.
EDIT. REVISED TO:
Other methods are discussed starting around post 3925 of this thread.
