If you’ve not already heard about it, IHG PointBreaks is widely regarded as one of the best redemption options out there. With some Intercontinental hotels included, there is some real value to be had.

The current PointBreaks list, available here, is valid until 31 October, 2016. While at the time of writing the hotels are not currently bookable, they should be later today. With this in mind, be aware that all rooms are subject to availability – so move fast if you see a hotel you like. While you will get your points back if you cancel a PointBreaks stay, you can only book two PointBreaks reservations (for as many nights as you want) per hotel.

The UK properties featured are the usual assortment of “interesting locations”, although if one works for you then consider it an excellent deal:

Ultimately, it’s another somewhat disappointing selection, which is in keeping with the decline of PointBreaks as an offer generally – while still great value, even for the least glamorous of hotels, the overall quality of hotels featured has clearly deteriorated over the last few years.

If you’re finding the PointBreaks lists a touch frustrating these days, don’t forget the more flexible alternative…

    You’re right, this is a bit disappointing…

    Except that I’m travelling to Phnom Penh next month and haven’t booked accommodation yet. Thanks for the heads up!

    (Worth noting that today is the last day to receive a 50% bonus on IHG points purchases, too)

    • Tom Sumner says

      Ah, always nice when a PointBreaks redemption works for someone, particularly where an Intercontinental is involved. Enjoy!
