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

SCUBACCR

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

Per usual, the one I wanted is "full". Berlin for 28-29 April.

I was able to snag three reservations just now. All three not so exciting locations (Michigan and Illinois), but in each case saving $$ for planned trips. ^

And hotels will disappear as rooms booked at 5K rate will exhaust inventory (and we don't know how many rooms are available for 5K). And no, they will not be put back into inventory if someone cancels 5K booking at 5K rate

Just to add to this note. I double booked as well (the website showed the reservation as not having gone thru so I clicked again and then noticed that double the points were missing). I was making one reservation for 3 nights and one for 4 nights, we are not sure if we would be up that extras day or not on 2 different accounts. well, once i did those 2 3 nights by mistake i couldnt get the 4 nights but as soon as i cancelled the 3 night, boom i was able to snag the 4 night. So in this case, my hotel sent that room right back at 5k. I was super stoked.

I booked a night at the Porto HIX for this week as I have a late arrival at OPO booked last minute, it was the perfect option ^

to expect a successful booking just a few days out is probably a little too much...

I got my dates and am now points free and will bid a happy farewell to IHG. Thanks for the fun while it lasted.

Oh I didnt have that problem, in fact when I cancelled the double booking, it put the nights back into 5k inventory. very interesting turn of events. I almost scrwed myself with those bookings.

Same here, I ended up with 3 rooms, I only noticed due to my points balance that was decreasing (no confirmation email when I got the error message), it happened when I booked for 1 person, went through fine when I put 2 people for some reason. Cancelled the unwanted bookings without problem
