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.

The PREVIEW list usually appears on IHG's blog first

I definitely think you thinking of Aberdeen. Inverness is desperately short of reasonably priced hotel rooms so the HIX is nearly always quite dear. Once, about 10 years ago, I stopped while on the road and got a good walk in price. Don't think it's ever been on the Pointbreaks list before.
Is HIX London Hammersmith any good?

Re Hammersmith I stayed there for a couple of nights when it was on the PB list last year and it wasn't too bad. It's about a five minute walk from the tube and the immediate area is surprisingly quiet. One thing to note though is it is currently being extended so there may be some noise.

IS there any chance that a Staybridge Suites hotel that is on the CURRENT (through May 31) Pointbreak list will also be on the next quarter's list?
Trying to figure out a long-term stay in June and it would be awesome if I could just use points!

And sometimes more than once a year
Nice property with lots of green around it. And quite easy to get to by public transport if that is your thing (obviously it is mine).
Dąbrowa Górnicza in Poland seems to pop up regularlly as well.

I think that the HIX Enterprise, Alabama and Candlewood of Enterprise, Alabama came up a few times in a row over the years, or at least tended to alternate spots on the PB list. (If you don't have business at the nearby military base, the big draw in town is the Boll Weevil Monument, so the property owners were probably glad of the token award night reveune they got from IHG)

Award bookings cannot be changed, rebook is the only option and in the case of PB your better just to leave it.
