New IHG Points Breaks list out now, and how to book the room for $35USD per night

The new Points Breaks list is now out for bookings between 24th March to 31st May 2014. I've put the entire list of rooms at the end of the post to stop cluttering the main body.

In my Beginners' Guide to IHG Rewards Club, I cover how to effectively buy in the required 5 000 points for only $35USD per night. You need to book the room you want quickly because they tend to disappear very quickly.

The thing that stands out for me is that all the European properties are Holiday Inn or Holiday Inn Express brands. When Points Break first launched it was a great way to snap up Intercontinental hotels in the centre of large cities for pittance. These days you have to go much further afield (and risk personal harm in the case of Tegucigalpa, Honduras where I just went 2 months ago) to get an Intercontinental.

Still, a 3-4 star hotel room for $35/€25 is not to be dismissed. You should grab any opportunity to take advantage of this offer.
