IHG Point Break List Announced Today

Every quarter, IHG announces a select list of point break hotels.  Point break hotels are offered at 5,000 points per night. You have to move fast because they sell out, but you can cancel the reservation and get your points back. 

Check out the new list for October 30, 2017 - January 31, 2018. If one of these hotels falls inside your travel plans, it's a great deal. IHG hotels include Crowne Plaza, Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express and Candlewood Suites. Some of these hotels include breakfast. 

I was able to book a point break hotel earlier this year in Edison New Jersey when we visited Rutgers University. No breakfast, but it only cost me 5,000 points. I had collected the points over the years by staying in a few random hotels and participating in a contest. 

You can get 80,000 IHG points by applying for the credit card. There is a $2,000 minimum spend and the $49 annual fee is waived the first year. 

Obviously, if you used 80,000 points on a point break hotel at 5,000 points per night, you are talking 16 nights in a hotel. Wow! That's how we do almost FREE family travel.
