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

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

Really happy with the ANA CP Okayama this round. Couldn't be a more perfect base for exploring Japan - and especially Kansai & Chūgoku - by train with the JR Rail Pass (or JR West Rail Pass).
Train trip times:
0:35 Hiroshima
0:45 Osaka
1:01 Kyoto
1:42 Fukuoka
1:59 Nara
I love pointbreaks

Been to Minney plenty o times thanks to points breaks in recent years. Lakeville is just a winter weather contingency if I need to drive in early to avoid any possible winter storms. I have a Holiday Inn near MoA booked for the actual Super Bowl weekend where I can take light rail into downtown easily. I wouldn’t go downtown from Lakeville.
If I do use the Lakeville reservation, I can easily spend a day or two at the Eagan outlets or MoA shopping. Shop during the day, gamble at night at Mystic Lake. Then move hotels for the weekend.

But you are right about one other thing. Mystic Lake is a definite during my stay.

Just checked into the Jacksonville property a few hours ago. I'm here on a PB night. Very pleased with the hotel, it's one of the nicest/cleanest HIE's I've stayed at. Definitely not in the center of town, but I'm only here for 1 night on my way from Charleston to Orlando, so it works for me. Looking forward to the free breakfast if I can wake up for it.

The naples property was very nice as well. We have stayed there 3 nights so far on 2 different weekends. Definitely looking forward to going back.

I stayed at Okayama CP. Didn't get an upgrade as a platinum ambassador but that was to be expected. I did get the welcome drink. Apart from that, the hotel was really good. Great customer service, very friendly staff. The room was quite good. The desk and the chair were quite comfortable so it was perfect when I needed to work. Internet Speed was also very good.
I found the room a bit too warm (even turning the heater off, the room would still be around 23 degrees celcius during the night) but they provided me with a fan and a air humidifier.
I had to shorten my stay from 10 days to 5 days because of work and they were very friendly, didn't make me pay an early departure fee and I got the 25,000 points back after calling IHG's service center in Japan. As an aside, I was extremely impressed with IHG's service center in Japan, I'm wondering if I should call them from now on because they really are extremely efficient.
All in all a great stay, would definitely recommend and would say that even without the pointbreaks price, it's worth staying there to visit this part of Japan (I used the JR-West Kansai Hiroshima Pass which costs 14,000 for 5 days).
