The current list is valid for stays through 07/31. Hotels can sell out of discounted rooms quickly.
Daily Getaways still has IHG point on sale with 5,000 points costing $28-$30, though those don’t post instantly.
You can stay in any PointBreaks hotel for 5,000 Priority Club/IHG points. If you already have 5,000 Priority Club/IHG points in your account then you can buy increments of 10,000 points for $70 as described below.
If you don’t have points yet Priority Club sells 5,000 points for $67.50, though that won’t post instantly. You can also transfer 5,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points to Priority Club. Terrible use of Ultimate Rewards points, but it allows you to start buying points for 0.7 cents each.
After you have 5,000 points in your account there is a “trick” to buy additional points for 0.7 cents each. You can book any cancellable 15,000 point hotel stay using cash and points for $70+5,000 points.
All you need to do is search for reward points stays in any metro area and you should find a hotel for 5,000 points+$70 like the one below. The room is normally 15,000 points but with IHG points and cash option you can buy 10,000 points for $70 when making a reservation. Just select the 5,000 points+$70 option to complete this purchase.
The $70 that you pay is nonrefundable so when you cancel the hotel you will actually get back 15,000 points in your account. Effectively you are buying 10,000 Priority Club points with this method for $70 or 0.7 cents per points.
Be sure to click on the rules during the checkout process to make sure that the room is fully refundable (almost all are):
In other words the cost per each 5,000 point PointBreaks stay is just $35 once you already have 5,000 initial points in your account.

CHINA????????
Can u buy frm daily getaways if u got no pts in account?
Is the Panana canal nice? Never been there. 🙂
Would like to point out that IHG modified terms for Pointbreaks: from now on (went into effect a few days ago, I believe) there is a limit of two bookings per account for each hotel on the pointbreaks list. So once you used the pointbreak deal on the same hotel twice, you can’t use it again for that hotel until the next list comes out.
n e thing for florida?
