Wiki was copied from 2018 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.

Just a word of warning if looking to stay there. There is no car parking on site. You are directed to the NCP car park on Booth Street West (not cheap either).
However, when I stayed at this hotel a couple of weeks ago, at least half a dozen guests reported their cars had been broken into overnight. Speaking with the lady on reception she stated this was not an unusual occurrance either.

anything is possible....but in this instance, so far i have never come across a pointsbreaks reservation that has been non-refundable....they follow the same rules as an average points reservation that can typically be cancelled without a penalty a day or two or three days before the check-in date....

Award bookings usually mirror best flex conditions, which was my point, sometimes with IHG flex is not so flex, and I have seen non refundable point breaks, in that case it was a rare pointbreaks release for a hotel in their peak season, where the rev par manager knew that would get good $$$ for offering rewards nights.

I've seen IHG hotels require cancellation as far as 2-4 weeks prior on flexible / award bookings which include peak travel dates. So yes flexible booking types can definitely be non-refundable *if* you book after the cancellation deadline for the dates involved has passed.

I assume hotels and IHG agree over award inventory as well as the compensation schedule far out in advance. The rev par manager then cannot change the award inventory unilaterally (he'd require IHG's explicit agreement).

I would completely rule out that hotels have any say over award night inventory in the short run. Over short time horizons, the compensation a hotel receives from IHG for alternative award inventories is essentially known. If you then let the hotel decide how much award inventory to release, you'd be making the hotel a monopolist. It would maximize its rent at the great cost of IHG. IHG would never allow that.

You won't find any availability for point redemption all the way out to eternity.
