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

What if your earlier reservation of a standard room had already been upgraded to an executive room? If you book again and cancel the existing one you have to hope that they'll upgrade you once more (this time for a points booking) - which will be made harder if your stay is right at the start of the Promo period.
I'm going to CP Vilnius next Friday and this is my current situation. Since there's no lounge it's not the end of the world if I don't get an Executive room but I'd like to keep the upgrade that's been registered if possible.

I really enjoyed a stay at the AO Nang Krabi.
upgraded to direct pool access and it was lovely.
To access the beach you have to go out the front of the hotel, across the road and its there.
I can recommend the hotel & staff for sure.
Separate kids pool and play area is away from the adult pool & pool bar that direct pool access rooms have :-)
If I were planning to be in Thailand within the promo timeframe, 5k is an absolute bargain.
No idea of weather in Krabi this time of year so look it up.

Brno isn't bad but I was there a few weeks ago so don't need to go again, Budapest is 40-60 minutes on a bus or bus+,metro combination and not included on any transport tickets and tickets are not so easy to buy because they're for outside the city boundaries, so I felt it wasn't worth the hassle and stayed in an ACCOR hotel instead.

Arras would be nice during mainsquare festival, but hotel already completely sold out, so guess no availability for pointbreaks

CP Nagasaki would be great next week, except...
As the ANA Crowne Plaza Nagasaki Gloverhill is undergoing renovations, business is temporarily suspended in order to prepare for construction during : January 4, 2017 - April 28, 2017. We truly apologize to our guests for the great inconvenience this may cause, and truly appreciate your understanding concerning this.

Brno = Pretty good if nothing special
Helsinki = Very mixed Reviews on TA
Arras = Seems ok but not really a touristy destination
Strasbourg = Pretty good and has swimming pool!
Berlin = Poor Reviews
Budapest = Good hotel but far out from Budapest.
Karlshrue = Almost new hotel, latest generation, seems good place.
Milan = Very poor reviews and in bad need of modernisation
Dabrowa Gornicza = Very good hotel, but more of a business place, nothing to see there really
Porto = Decent Business hotel, half an hour from city
Moscow = Seems fairly good
Madrid = Average reviews and location.
I saw the Berlin property and got excited about adding a Berlin stop to my summer travels, but that property looks exceptionally tired. With Berlin's wealth of cheap hotels with decent locations and (relatively) expensive public transit staying that far out rarely makes sense. Check their TA pics for some hot CRT TV action too
Porto is intriguing, but similarly it's a very affordable city to bother with staying that far out of the city center.
The Madrid property looks more like a below average airport hotel. Like the other cities above Madrid is very affordable so staying at a poorly run HIX near the airport seems a poor decision.

Am I doing something wrong or are the two hotels in MD I am checking sold out of the 5k rates already? Can't get it to show on all the different dates I am trying.

The hotel itself is fine, but it's located 4km outside of the city (ring road), 6km to the nearest metro station. There is some public transport, but the stop is a few hundred meters from the hotel, and getting to the center of Moscow won't be easy, especially for those with no knowledge of Russian. Taxi to the downtown will probably cost somewhere about $15-20, depending on traffic.
