Thanks!
Are you sure this is incorrect? Although the Holiday Inn Express Woodbridge is listed under Nebraska on the Priority Club Connect Community site, the link takes you to the property at 874 Us Highway 1, Avenel, New Jersey, 07001 United States: http://www.ihg.com/holidayinnexpress...B_EXwoodbridge. Which one is correct? Either way, I fixed a few others on the map. You can view the updated map here:
I've just finished the map for this preview list, I hope that some will find it useful! I can't embed directly to the forum but you may view it here: Weekend Blitz - Preview: IHG/PriorityClub PointBreaks List Aug-Sep 2014
I have also color coded the properties based upon brand.
If you see any properties that have been misplaced please let me know.

While I applaud IHG for keeping PB alive, the list seems to get more and more sparse...

While I'm not a frequent IHG customer, I do like these PB's for some obscure places and you almost always end up saving $100 a night if you can use it. I also greatly appreciate the map, it gives me a quick look at where these hotels are at. Thank you!

Five nights in the CP Istanbul Harbiye in October. I know it's not the best located property for the tourist areas but 25,000 for five nights in a CP beats 75,000 points for five nights in the HI.
Was a bit concerned as the CP wasn't showing the PB rate while others were. I thought they all when live at the same time but obviously not.

IHG PointBreaks Glitch July 28, 2014
Today the new Points Breaks list came out. Great. One property listed on PointBreaks is the Staybridge Suites, Savannah, Georgia, airport location.
However, it shows no availability for using IHG points. No dates are available for using IHG points (Regular, PointBreaks, Points and Cash or anything else) until June, 2015, yet the Hotel has plenty of availability.
Talking to the Hotel hasn't helped. Talking to IHG goes back to the Property.
Can anyone help? Thank you.

Staybridge Savannah
When the preview list came out on Friday, I sat and checked awards nights one at a time for several months. Oddly enough, one day in August had "Meeting room with sofa bed" come up. Other than that, nothing... ever.
Something is even awry with the paid rates as there are some weekends where if you select one day, nothing is available. If you pick two dates, there is plenty of room.
I have a feeling that they know what they're doing... everything possible to decrease point usage and increase revenue.
Thankfully, many Country Inns in the area!

List was better than expected for me...got 2 nights in Istanbul at the end of a trip which is what I was looking for, and in Beyoglu to boot (I want to do some music shopping on Istiklal Caddesi). Also decided on 3 nights in Antalya at the beach in the beginning of my trip to decompress before hitting the trail in Turkey/Georgia. I don't think I booked right when this came live but there was no problem with availability.
Need a night or couple in Portland OR but the Portland West seems really really far...I guess I'll see. It IS close to the MAX though and most of the time I'm fine with a commute, if I can snooze during it.
Funniest location is the one that's a half mile from my sister's apt of all places...had no idea there was a property so close! I'll have to see if she wants a staycation....
