Overall, not as bad as it could've been. Some of the IC's going up to 60K (ie, Bora Bora) was expected. Some, like the IC in Monterey, CA, were a little surprising.

Not really a surprise. The 50k limit had to go at some point. When you look at what Hilton done a few years back it could have been a lot worse.

I think we all expected them to go up. A few decreases as well and there appears to be around 30 IC which have gone up to 55/60.

If they're going to charge 60K points for a night at an IC, they need to honor all Ambassador and Royal Ambassador benefits...

If we book now for a future redemption, would the points requirement change or do we get the rate posted right now? Sorry I do not have a lot of experience in redemption with IHG.

Interesting to see that De La Ville Rome is going up to 55000 points - some great joined up work from IHG!

(and how can the Hotel Indigo in Santa Barbara ever be worth 50000 points?)
