IC Sanya on Hainan island. There is a Ren there too.

Not too hopeful of UK PB's inside the M25 boundary appearing. Racking my brains and can't remember any.

Seem to remember staying at Camden Lock at 5K a few years ago

Whoops forgot Brent Cross but it is not convenient location for most guests, was period December2011 + January2012 window.

No, it's not much of a tourist destination - probably ok if you are driving but a bit of a nuisance otherwise.

There was also Wimbledon South, which was at least near to the underground, but that dropped off pretty quickly - before I got round to booking it anyway!

I'm getting desperate waiting for this one. I land in NRT on 9/1 and need to figure out where I'm flying to.

New list is out!

pattermj Aug 26, 2013 8:32 am

It is not updated on the main PB main for ICHG, where are you seeing this updated list?

I am wrong, looks like the dates have definitely been updated, not sure if all of the states though. Still hoping for more for CO but looks like I might be SOL

IME slim pickings and not much coverage for Point Breaks destinations. Still up in the air how Priority Club decides what hotels is involved in the latest list.

I was lucky enough to cash in at San Antonio a few years back, with just over 20K points.. liquidated for 4 nights.. but it was just plain lucky, and I booked a suite at an HIX with flights already booked for Spring Break layover going to Hawaii.

And without flaming, when are the next dates *likely* to be announced?

10K due to facelift? Noted facelift issues on TripAdvisor. Exploring options for a 22 hour layover and concluded the Tube ride to Wembley is an excellent option as the hotels near the airport or near ideal locations are 3X-5X the price. Oyster Card with balance from the last visit.

I realize it's probably just a placeholder no one ever updated properly, but I'm both amused and a bit cranky that the Holiday Inn Wrexham is currently described as 'Rooms Not Available Until Apr 15, 2025'. Especially since I'm actively looking for a place to stay not too far from Snowdonia.

Bit much with the construction lead time there?

BrightlyBob Jan 15, 2017 2:37 am

It is just a placeholder. That hotel is currently a Ramada and I've stayed there a few times as it's next to my venue when work takes me to Wrexham. I seem to remember reading something somewhere about an Autumnal reflag...

As for Wrexham being close to Snowdonia, well it might geographically be the closest IHG when it opens but due to winding roads it's a 90 minute drive to Snowdonia, as is the currently open Holiday Inn Chester West.

The towns of Harlech, Bangor and Caernarfon are much closer, although no brands are there, a search on Trivago should give you a good idea of what's on offer.

What a big, horrible, convoluted mess they've made of the program. I'm glad I've been downgraded. No more pressure to hit a moving target, and I can try out new properties, and chains.
So much tinkering, and cowing to their properties, many of which would be nothing without their IC badge. It's like they sent Theresa May to do their negotiating for them.
As Land of Miles says, how can they possibly "Guarantee" a benefit, then renege on it with just pennies as compensation. Then to make things worse, they introduce exclusions on upgrades and lounge access around NYE and religious holidays. How low can they go?
