Wiki was copied from 2018 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:
https://www.ihg.com/rewardsclub/content/us/en/redeem-rewards/pointbreaks.html

The PREVIEW list usually appears on IHG's blog first

I doubt the 3rd time will be the charm, but I would love for any of the Helsinki properties to appear on the list that is released today. I say 3rd time the charm because an IHG property in Helsinki has been on each of the last 2 lists (Holiday Inn City Centre was on the list that ends today) and the Crowne Plaza was on the list before that. Given that Helsinki has been on the list since the end of September, it's a shame my travel dates aren't until April. With a bit of luck though, maybe IHG will choose one of the Hotel Indigo, the Holiday Inn Expo, the Holiday Inn West Ruoholahti, or the Holiday Inn by the airport for the list that is released today.

Enjoy the Alps by the way - whereabouts are you? I know I'm the only one in my local Bierstübl in Bregenz watching the IHG page!

Less and less interest each time PB comes out nowadays. The reason, of course, is inflated point requirements and few desirable hotels. What if IHG pulls a fast one on us and comes out with a great list this time!
Well, I can dream, can't I?
Good hunting to all!

Wow, the 5K list was so bad I thought I was looking at the leftover list from last points break.
