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

This is one of the worst lists I've seen for Texas ever.

But its as good as any previous list for Australia bar 2 or 3. The consistency of their Australian offerings is admirable

Sadly true

The one time I saw Galveston on the list availability disappeared while I was deciding on dates

And as is often the case, Washington state is totally absent

Have a upcoming trip flying into PDX and out of SEA - NOTHING in OR/WA!

Oh well, don't need to book anything this time.

There's an apparent mistake on the South Africa hotel in Sandton (Rivonia). When you click on it, it takes you to a completely different hotel (Rosebank). Someone there should fix this.

I booked this hotel for an upcoming trip in March...unfortunately with an APR. I had a sneaking suspicion this would happen... I guess sometimes planning too far ahead can backfire. Oh well. Would have been nice to save the cash since I so rarely even get the opportunity to use a Pointbreak rate, though.

Nacho (or anyone else who has visited recently), did you receive an upgrade of any kind? I've read that the IHG Bangkok hotels have been cutting back lately...

The HI in Rosebank is considerably better than the Rivonia Road one.

Be aware, if you book Rivonia Road, that there is construction happening on a new mall next door. Many people have reported considerable noise disturbance.

It may be worth checking which one of these hotels is actually being offered. Rivonia Road was on the last list. I ended up cancelling it and paying cash for the Rosebank property, because of the noise and lack of smoking rooms at Rivonia.

I have been holding off on booking Krakow in March for this list. Now I just hope I can get my 2 nights booked if they ever go live. I was also shocked to see an Anaheim resort area hotel on the list. It is not quite walking distance, but still a great deal. Both of these hotels are available for as little as $100 a night, depending on demand, but they are welcome additions to an otherwise lacking list.

I was there last week and as a Plat received an upgrade to a nice 2 room suite in the old tower.
