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

SCUBACCR

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

Just to think....I thought the last Europe list was bad.

Belfast is not much use for me since If I need to go up there for work I just come back same day to Dublin since rarely need to be up there for more than a few hours.

I guess Baku Staybridge would be nice if you need to go there though.

Question about Pointsbreak.

If I'm travelling with a friend, how do I book two rooms using a Pointsbreak deal - one for me and one for him on the same night?

We actually need two nights now I think about it.

Make two bookings in my name, then add his name as the second traveller in the second room?

Is this even possible? Thanks.

I can't find much of anything on the list that I'd have much if any desire to use.

Maybe the BWI property, but even that is pushing it.

You should be able to check into 2 rooms under your own name. Make a dummy booking right now to see if it works. If it works now, it should work for pointbreaks.

Yeah, you can add his name to the 2nd room. I do that.

Belfast Crowne Plaza looks pretty basic for a CP at least the bedrooms compared to the last half a dozen I've been in.

Is this a convert from another non IHG brand? It looks it, compared to the CP in Dublin Airport it's a joke.

Cool - thank you.

On this point:

Due to the limited availability, each member may only book two PointBreaks® Reward Nights reservations per hotel during the special offer time period.
Does that mean two nights total? Or two bookings for any number of nights total?

The latter: two bookings regardless of the number of nights booked per reservation.

A big fat zero for me on this one. I might have able to use San Diego Mira Mesa if I hadn't already booked a non-refundable rate downtown.

On a general note, not a great list. A poor show in Europe, I have to say.

Two bookings for any number of nights. I once booked the same PB hotel for one booking of 18 nights and one booking of 21 nights, and used both bookings in full. Was allowed without issue.

I can use a couple on this list, though I've long since given up using this list for "destination travel" and accepted to view it as merely "save money on trips already planned".

I pretty much agree with this.

Thank you gentlemen - that works out perfect for our plans.

I happen to be travelling to Rochester, NY which appears to be on the list for next time round.

I was excited to see one in San Diego, but hopes of getting that were dashed by the fact Mira Mesa is about 20 minutes north of the city.

That would have been no problem for me at all. I'm a little bit annoyed at myself for the existing non-refundable booking, but I got a very good rate and I can't turn down decent savings just on the off chance of a PB coming up.

Getting worse every time in Europe.
