Update: Here is a link to the newest IHG Points Breaks list.
If you are a beginner to points and miles, one of the best values in points are IHG Rewards Club PointBreaks. This is a list of IHG hotels that in the past could be booked at only 5,000 IHG Rewards points a night (normally you would need more points to book these hotels). IHG changed their PointsBreaks list earlier this year and now has added properties that could be redeemed for 10,000 or 15,000 points a night. This means that now the properties on the list are offered at three different point values: 5,000, 10,000 and 15,000 points.
Every few months a new list of IHG Point Breaks hotels is published. IHG has released their new IHG PointsBreaks list. The hotels can be booked on this page starting today, Monday, September 24, 2018 for stays through November 30, 2018.
If you are interested in a hotel on this list, it is best to book as early as possible as soon as the PointBreaks list as the more desirable hotels are booked quickly. Each member may only book two PointBreaks Reward Nights reservations per hotel.
Here is the IHG PointBreaks list which I have also copied below.
