Wiki was copied from 2017 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

Except the major cities with increases eg London, Edinburgh, NYC hotels will never normally be on any PB list. Last two London PBs were outer-outer London, Croydon and Dartford HIEs, nothing ever in eg Paris, Amsterdam
and of course the 50/60/70k IC's never come up on PB either.

With all this talk of devaluation and and relative value, it should be noted that IHG "sold" points for ~20% less than we'd ever seen before with the p+c sale last November. At that sale rate, you could buy 5k points for ~$22. So not just cheaper relatively, actually cheaper.

agree, if the preview hasn't shown up yet today ( i haven't seen anything on usual blogs ) it will most likely show up next week. And, past few quaters they have been pretty consistent with the bookings coming open last Monday of month so I would expect bookings to open on Monday 29th

Hoping for some FL properties, even though they would likely be the freeway HIX's anything would help.
That said, since this is the Spring Break Pointbreaks, there will probably be NO FL properties at all
