Our Take
It’s tough to put a good spin on this round of PointBreaks options. While some discounted properties are better than none, the choices seem painfully limited—especially for those seeking a deal on high-end properties. That said, if one of participating hotels is a fit for your travel plans, it’s worth a look.

The ABQ property is a great deal!
The list of hotels is one of the worst we have ever seen.
The same could be said of every list for the last 2-3 years…
I had a hotel on the list booked previously and was able to save $400 by rebooking it on points. #Winning 😀
Congrats on the stars aligning for you and, most importantly, for you catching the alignment. Does AW get a % of your savings? 😉
Not a lot of good U.S. options this time around.
This is a pretty sparse list as I have come to expect. There are a few interesting locations but I’ll be to busy to take advantage this time. I do enjoy perusing the list to dream of opportunities after I retire.
I generally like to try to find the positives, but this is another seriously uninspired PB list from our friends at IHG.
I personally thought that this list of Pointbreak hotels was dismal! A couple of years ago I could find great value in the 5000 points offerings.
I have to agree. Hopefully IHG will hear their members and improve.
Totally agree!
Always a good promo if you can make it work
Gotta work to find the sweet spots.
Really one of the worst lists ever, especially in Europe.
Abq property is nice stayed there a few years ago
What a terrible selection of hotels again…
Seriously pointbreak is totally useless.
Great deal for US and people from other countries!
Holiday Inn Express, Boston, is very nice hotel. Staying there once-twice every year. Pity it’s no more fixed 5k points awards
Great, I found a hotel in a city I am visiting soon.
This list is pretty bad.
I would like to see them expand the list of hotels, hopefully more of my favorites will show up!
painfully limited is the right phrase. The only interesting ones to me are the Intercontinentals
Oooo a Niagara flight. Now that’s interesting to me. Once in a while you find a gem.
I was very disappointed by this quarter’s list. I can only imagine next quarter will be worse since it’s the lucrative summer travel season.
Unless you are incredibly lucky and get a fit in your travel plans, I see a pretty ugly looking list.
Nothing for me this time. Thanks though!
Thank you for the heads up on this promotion. So many balls to juggle, it’s great to have a resource like awardwallet’s blog keeping one up to speed.
Helpful if you are headed to any of these areas. However, overall very limited and not worth much to me personally. Wish we could return to the good old days.
Very few hotels offer. I still like the previous point break@ 5,000 points.
Good if you are going to the Middle East or South America!
Always a great promo if you need a Candlewood suites in the middle of nowhere in Iowa….
Very disappointed with the list . Also fewer hotels on this list.
Is it just me or does the list keep shrinking every quarter! Good value for anyone that can use it though.
Boston – Waltham – looks like a good deal.
Good offer if the promo works
good promo, the US options could be better
Pointbreaks is not even worth bothering with now.
Yes, book this early if you want these discounted rooms. My experience is that they go FAST!
I must add that I’m very disappointed in this list and in the process of the special from IHG being so devalued!
Indeed. It is getting worse. Hope to see better one next time!
The list is getting worse. Hope to see better one next time!
Unfortunately it seems to be harder and harder to find anything of interest!
