Book These Hotels For 5,000 Points Per Night – The IHG PointBreaks

Written by Charlie

It is that time again – the release of the next session of IHG PointBreak hotels (this list actually went live yesterday but I had some things that came up and wasn’t able to get to this yesterday). As you know by now, these hotels can be booked for only 5,000 IHG points per night for reservations lasting through February 28, 2015. The IHG PointBreak hotels are certainly the best deal in hotel awards even though not all of these hotels are awe-inspiring.

IHG PointBreak Hotel List

The following list of hotels are available for only 5,000 points per night for reservations through February 28, 2015. Remember, you cannot make more than two reservations per hotel during this booking period (you can still book multiple reservations at various hotels, just not more than two at one property).

Getting the points

There are a variety of ways to get the points necessary for PointBreak hotels. The one thing that I would only do as a last resort is to use Ultimate Rewards. Yes, these hotels are a fantastic value, but 5,000 Ultimate Reward points can be worth, at the minimum, $62. For many of us, we can find common value closer to $75 – $85 for Ultimate Reward points when transferred to partners like Southwest, Hyatt, United, and Singapore. So, only transfer if you cannot obtain points through one of these other methods.

A great way to get a bundle of IHG points is through the ihg credit card which you can read about here. Another way is through purchasing ihg points which you can read about here. Finally, though they may no be useful to you during this round, check out your offer from the “Into the Nights” promotion – read about it here.

Notable Hotels

IHG Pointbreaks

The Crowne Plaza Liège

There are only two of the upper-tier Intercontinental brand hotels this time – one in Egypt and the other in Mexico. There is an abundance of Holiday Inn Express hotels available throughout the US.

There are no options for stays in Phoenix (where the Super Bowl will be) but there are two options in Tucson which is a couple of hours away from the Super Bowl – the Holiday Inn Express and Suites and Candlewood Suites

For those interested in attending the BCS game in Arlington, there are two options that are within an hour – Crowne Plaza Dallas (near Galleria-Addison) and Holiday Inn Dallas/Ft. Worth Airport S.

Make sure you look at the European options that you may be able to marry with some of the off-peak award deals going on – from American Airlines, from United Airlines, and from US Airways. With that, the hotel Crowne Plaza Liège in Belgium certainly looks like a nice place to stay, especially for only 5,000 points per night.
