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

It has almost been a tradition that a full list would be published on IHG blog on the last Friday of current promotional period for next Monday booking. I think at least last 5-7 rounds of PB has followed this pattern. People familiar and experienced with previous PB releases knows about this and would like to assume this round of PB release would be the same.
There is no guarantee but old timers here do have a point.

IHG Blog just published an EXTENDED PREVIEW list. The full list will be published on IHG website on 29th JAN NOON (Assume US Eastern time of central time.)
Highlight hotel includes InterContinental in Cali, Sao Paolo and Kiev. Holiday Inn Resort in Bali and several Crowne Plazas.
Pity Crowne Plaza Belgrade is at 10,000 category as it appeared on PB before.

Not an IHG expert enough to say whether it looks good or not but will say that I stayed at the CP Abu Dhabi a couple of months ago for Ł80. A points break option of 15000points for it seems a bit underwhelming.

In theory, you will have a big follower of Friday shoppers. (sort of like PB)
The shop will see business tilt towards Friday heavily. Then depends on which day the shop get fresh supply the profitability will be severely impacted.
The shoppers will feel cheated once they know Friday special is there and eventually gave up buying on other days.
Then you start to have shopper loose out because there are limited supply and the disappointed shoppers never returned to the shop (sounds familiar?)......
My point is, you can extend the scenario indefinitely. Stick to the simple principles of the original discussions is better than extend the theoretic discussion. Once you go off course to argue your point there are endless possibilities and discussion will just dilute the original topic. Let us stick to PB and PB only. Thanks.
