Thanks for the link! Great job!
Is there a way to see all IHG properties between NYC and DC? Or should I just enter cities along the way to get an overview of the different areas?
A map with all IHG locations would be great but I guess that's way too much work to ask from a single individual. Thanks for offering though!

For those traveling to NZ on the UA deal, the CP CHC is available.
P.S. wouldn't this be better if merged with the other PointBreaks thread?

I agree, but it seems the mods are asleep at the switch. This thread should have dead-ended within hours of being started since it duplicates at least two others.

Yah, actually it is available all the way through December 2007 just up to Xmas. Not bad if your travels lead you there anyway though deluxe rooms go for something like 120USD. Still great value.

Is there a penalty for canceling Point breaks rate?

According to the T&Cs: Cancellations in conjunction with PointBreaks reservations will forfeit points equal to the first night of the reservation. Priority Club members who cancel a PointBreaks reservation will have points equal to the first night of the reservation deducted from their Priority Club account.

No penalty for Pointbreaks cancellations
I've already had to cancel à couple of Pointbreaks reservations, and my account was credited within seconds. Maybe I was just lucky ?

Already Antwerp ,Liege and Cagliari gone from the European Pointsbreak today. Interesting to see Blois still hanging in there from the very beginning(Interesting ,historical town for those who havent been: perhaps the 'Garden Court' status is a bit of a put off

You will not see any cancellation fee on the description of transcation but they do deduct the 1st night as a penalty. I tried it once :-( so be carefull.

My count too. But if these are being programmed from Atlanta it only confirms what we know about the ignorance of the average US high school graduate who cannot find many locales even within the USA let alone elsewhere in the world.
(I once had to deal with an AOL phone CSA to get the access number in England. Called the US call centre from Montreal, but the idiot I got didn't know where England was and kept giving me a number in Tennessee! I gave up and when I got to the AC Arrivals lounge at LHR, called the UK customer service number I found in an AOL ad and got someone at their Irish call centre who was able to give me the number...This is another reason why many American companies use offshore CSA centres, even in India, because the staff will have received a better quality basic education.)

Seriously this view reflects the large urban areas in the US where the schools are troubled. It is not as you say an average US HS graduate.
