Wiki was copied from 2017 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

Not bad for me
Got 4 nights in Des Moines, and 4 nights (Thanksgiving time) in Duluth. Des Moines very close to what I needed (Ames, IA), and Duluth is quite good to split Thanksgiving week between half in Wisconsin Dells (kids), and half on whatever is close to fill the rest of the week

Maybe warnings can be posted as you have done -- here and/or in the wiki.
Nada for me this time. Scored big on the last one. It's fun to play the game, if you don't get too wrapped up in it. Places I'd like to go to or go back to. Thanks to all for helping me and others along the way.

Well, it looks like IHG has finally been doing some listening. This is a lot better than the last two offerings.
I got 2 x 5k nights at Rolling Meadows Schaumburg for pre- and post-flight (ORD) stays, allowing me to cancel 2 stays at the nearby Candlewood (one for 15k and one for $105). Overall, a very good deal. Hopefully I can score a balcony room.
I did consider the Candlewood at MIA for 10k for a 5 night stay, but decided against it because it's all non-smoking and I have a smoking room booked at an ok-looking motel with decent reviews for $70 a night.
I might have used Cape Town, if only it had come up in the next round (I have 8 nights there in December).
After the bagging I have given IHG in recent months, I have to say I am actually reasonably impressed this time.

Cash rate on test weekend I looked at for the 15K QO Amsterdam was 280+ euros per night, so possibly very good value if you're thinking a trip there.

The description at the bottom of the confirmation page states "non-refundable". However, the rate description shows "refunded in points only". At thd bottom it then states that cancellation up to the previous day will incur no charge.
