Since there is activity on this thread, I've just changed my subscription to instant notification.
One booking tip I've used twice since the two-reservation limit was announced is to make the first reservation for one night, and the other nights all in the second. That way, you have flexibility on your arrival, especially if something goes wrong. A missed flight, you don't lose the whole reservation.
I'm in BKK now, hoping for some of those exotic locations I could never take advantage of before.

So...no preview list today(Friday). Does that mean pointsbreaks are still going live Monday or will it be next week?
The current/last set of pointsbreaks allows bookings up until the 28th.. so maybe it will be next week?

It's easier if you have a +1. Just got back from a few weeks in the Gulf States and have to say that the last round of pointbreaks really did the trick there ^

So one can book from the preview. Also if one books the hotel now and it shows up on pointsbreak later on do they adjust points charged?

The hotels on pointsbreaks are not bootable at the PB rate until it goes live, existing bookings are not changed. You need to book when it goes live.

Right now, it seems nobody knows if pointsbreaks is going live tomorrow or whether it will be next Monday?

And the list will be valid for 2 or 3 months, I gather. And its for booking and staying during these months, right? I would need some nights in June so this list would be too early I guess?

Who moved my PointsBreak preview?
Flights booked to Bangkok end of March so the destination is set but not the hotel. Despite the military coup the new hotels (and PointsBreaks) are aplenty.
