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

I dont think anybody knows for sure. I think if you take the p*** and have booked tonnes, they will notice and you could have them all cancelled and/or account suspended. If you just book 3 or 4, I imagine they probably dont even notice but ymmv.

Unfortunately, upstate NY is getting hit with ticks carrying Lyme desease. It's a major concern during the warm months, and I saw warnings posted at many outdoor attractions.

Swansea is close to Cape Cod and some other beaches in MA as well as some nice Portuguese restaurants. Johnstown is not too far from Lake George and is surrounded by different State Forests.

I made 5 reservation last winter on breakpoints hotels and after a week they cancel all my reservations and I had to call IHG award center to unblock my account.
I'm not sure how they find out.

Holiday Inn Clermont-Ferrand Centre
I made two separate bookings at the Holiday Inn Clermont-Ferrand Centre and received a message from the hotel's reservations department which states:
"Regarding a bug on the IHG Rewards Night website, we received many booking for you between 01st September and 31st October 2017. Please could you check and contact us as confirmed your real booking and credit again your account ."
Not only this but they seem to have sent the same message to multiple IHG members and thus revealed my e-mail address to everyone on their list.
What should I do?

Ask for lots of points as compensation.

So it is definitely a case of YMMV as I had five 2-3 night PB stays at a property off the last list and had no issues.

Acadea is a full day drive from NYC and IHG hotels in Maine are rarely on the list.

I wonder how many hotels PBs were exhausted/decimated early due to multiple unwanted bookings with follow up cancelations due to IHG "I.T. BUG" on Monday 31st July.
Many hotels now removed already by IHG off the PB list on the main link page.

It basically boils down to, if you are going to violate the rules, ask yourself, Do I feel lucky that I would not be caught? If you decide to test your luck and be caught, then would you not mind go thru the hassle to sort it out if your account is locked by IHG because of the violation.
YMMV indeed.

basically IHG will not give you points, because if they do, they would be taking some of the responsibility for what happen and are thus, liable.
Obviously YMMV, but I spoke to guest relations and to a senior case manager (or something like that) and got the same shpiel
Good luck.
