New Priority Club PointBreaks List Is Out!
Priority Club PointBreaks Linky
The current list is valid from now through 01/31/11. It’s a pretty weak list this time, but if you happen to need a hotel somewhere where there’s one on the list it’s guaranteed to be a true bargain.
You can stay in any PointBreaks hotel for 5,000 Priority Club points. If you already have 5,000 Priority Club points in your account then you can buy 10,000 points for $60 as described below
If you don’t have points yet Priority Club sells 5,000 points for $67.50, or you can instantly transfer 1,000 AMEX MR points into 1,200 Priority Club points.
After you have 5,000 points in your account you can book any cancellable 15,000 point hotel using cash and points for $60+5,000 points. When you cancel the hotel you will get 15,000 points in your account, in other words the cost per 5,000 points is $30 after you already have 5,000 points in your account.

You should probably delete that exclamation mark at the end of this announcement. Very underwhelming list of locations.

Dan,
So say I currently have 0 points. I would first purchase 5,000 for $67.50, then pay $60 + my newly acquired 5,000 points, and cancel the hotel and keep the 15,000 points? So I would be out $30+$67.50=$97.50 for 15,000 points?
Is it safe to say that this wouldn’t make sense for someone with 0 points? Or am I missing something?
