If the new Premier "four for the price of three" award had been in effect then, it would have only been 22.5K. I realize these deals aren't likely to be as good now that some properties can go for 10K or 15K, but Pointsbreaks are still great deals. I'll take a 15K hotel for six days at 67.5K.

On a similar topic: When using the Ambassador Renewal "200USD" option that includes 10% off on redemptions will that also apply to Points Break stays?

It should. It may or may not stack correctly with the 10% credit card rebate though. Anyone able to confirm that these two 10% rebates *did* or *did not* stack for them?

I can confirm that the rebate works on points breaks too. 4000p for a night is pretty sweet 😁 and before anyone asks 5000-10%-500welcome points 😁 if 600p then even better of cpurse

Or it might have been 25k without the 10% points rebate (of course, still an awesome deal). No matter what the various blogs are claiming, in practice it still hasn’t been proven yet that the 10% rebate from the Select card remains in effect after the new card gets recorded in the member’s IHG account. Still awaiting the 1st successful DP for this.
It's a great stacking of benefits. The added benefits are more than keeping up with the devaluations IMO.

Last month I did two reward stays. One was PB and one was not. I received the rebate for the larger one about two weeks ago. Still have not received anything for the PB booking.

It did stack, but I did not use point breakers, a regular redemption. And it did required a follow-up call(s) to get it posted.

I just stayed at a 10k PB stay at CP Manila for two bookings of 8 nights and 9 nights. So the 8 nights came out to 60k because the new IHG card gave the 4th and 8th night free, and I got 6k in points back from my old IHG card, so 54k points total for the first 8 nights. I'm just waiting for the 7k rebate from my second booking of 9 nights.
