Last Friday
we were one of the first to bring the details of the newest IHG Rewards
Club PointBreaks offers and are happy to tell you that they are now
live! There are 165 Hotels participating in this set of offers and are now open for booking for stays until Feb 28, 15 (subject
to availability). Unfortunately for those of you stuck traveling within the confines of our beautiful country you’ll only find two Canadian locations participating. The Crowne Plaza Fredricton is a good choice and a great deal at 5,000 points while those primarily in the Oil & Gas Industry who are self employed may find redeeming 5,000 points in Ft. St. John as a good cost savings measure.
Each Reward Night at these participating hotels will
be only 5,000 IHG Rewards Club points during the above mentioned dates.
Remember the new PointBreaks rules that a member can only book up to 2
reward reservations per hotel participating in the individual offer (ie 2
at Pointbreaks hotels and 2 at Last Minute Reward Night hotels). My
tip to get around this would be to book 2
reservations with one IHG Rewards Club account and then have your
spouse book 2 more etc. Of course this is dependent on both accounts
having enough points to redeem for these awards. Also be sure to book
these ASAP as once the allotted nights are booked at certain locations
those hotels will fall off the list.
Why are IHG
Rewards Club Point Breaks such a great deal? Because they
offer
reward nights at participating IHG hotels Worldwide for only 5,000
Rewards Club points. For those of you not to familiar with IHG Rewards
Club , normal redemption rates for Rewards Club reward nights run from
as low as 10,000 points for some Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn Express
locations to 50,000 points for ultra-luxurious InterContinental
locations and even these locations can participate in PointBreaks. So
as you can see you can receive a discount of 50 to 88% off the regular
redemption rates. You may be thinking that the high end hotels won’t
participate but they do depending on the time of year! Please note
that like most loyalty promotions these offers are capacity controlled
so I advise to book sooner than later to ensure you get the PointBreaks
rate. These offers are now bookable via the primary PointsBreaks page or via the individual hotel links below.
