Wiki was copied from 2017 thread
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
Pointbeaks changed the amount of points needed: This is discussed in this thread: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/intercontinental-hotels-ihg-rewards-club-intercontinental-ambassador/1890423-point-breaks-now-5k-10-15k.html
This thread is about the discussion about the locations and the actual list, please use the thread above for discussions about the increased number of points needed for pointbreak redemptions.

Use this URL for "Live" PB Listing:

The PREVIEW list usually appears on IHG's blog first

Ok. I think it's official now. Pointbreaks are basically dead. I don't really see how anyone can spin this any other way.
The 5k list is pathetic. The 10k list looks like the old 5k lists. The 15k list mainly covers places where prevailing cash rates are around $100, and where there are plenty of 10k options anyway.
Move along, people. Nothing to see here.

Well, I have considered PB dead for years as the last value I remember was the IC Stockholm. LONG gone are the days of the IC Vienna type properties. Cannot say I am surprised by this, but since I have already not bothered with them in years, not a big loss. IHG points are like Hilton points...50000000 points for anything decent nowadays.

Also, you were able to add the names going into the booking and modifying it. No "modify booking" link either.
