IHG Booking Linky

IHG PointBreaks Linky

-The current list is valid for stays through 04/30
-Hotels can sell out of discounted rooms quickly and only a limited amount of rooms are available per night.

You can book up to 2 reservations per hotel. There’s no limit to how long each of the stays can be.

You can stay in any PointBreaks hotel for 5,000 IHG points.

If you have time on your hands, you can manufacture lots of IHG points via this method through 02/22.

If you already have 5,000 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 IHG sells 5,000 points for $67.50 (though it can be much less than that, so select an amount and then login via this link to check for targeted discounted point promotions).. If those points don’t post instantly you can call IHG to get a points loan based on your purchase confirmation number in order to quickly grab a room. Alternatively you can transfer 5,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points to IHG, though transfers are not instant. It’s a terrible use of Ultimate Rewards points (as they’re were more than twice that to brokers or when transferred to other airlines or hotels), but it allows you to start buying points for 0.7 cents each.

You can also get 60K points for signing up for their credit card.  Many DDF members have been able to send a secure message and get their 60K offers matched to an 80K+$50 cash back offer  That’s not as strong as bonuses from cards with more valuable point currencies, though it does come with an annual certificate good for a free stay in any IHG hotel. Those are best utilized at Intercontinental hotels where a night can set you back 50K points or $800/night in places like Bora Bora. The card is free for the first year and then $49/year.  If you have a credit card you’ll also get 10% of your points back on award reservations!

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 IHG 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.

-Holiday Inn Express & Suites Colorado Springs, CO
-Crowne Plaza Stamford, CT

-Crowne Plaza Chicago-Northbrook, IL
-Candlewood Suites West Springfield, MA

Nothing in Israel?

Dan

@Miles:
Nice!

@Nissim:
If there was I’d have posted it 🙂

Nissim

@Dan: I knew you would, I was just double checking, lol

Ephraim

Dan, I just got an email today letting me know of a 75% bonus on point purchases. Ive always bought points on these promotions up to the max allowed but always received a 100% bonus. Is that why I was only offered 75%?

Anon

@dan or booked it😜

Dan

@Ephraim:
The 100% only comes up a few times a year.

Miriam

What about Times Square? Hong Kong?

C r

Question- I’m pretty new here. I’m looking out for hotels for a road trip this summer. Are these points always available for purchase for $70 for 10000 or is that a promo they’re having now? I already have over 5000 points.

Would purchase now if it’s a deal I won’t get later.

Indigo

I just booked the Indigo by Atlanta, any idea if its worth keeping?

Replier

@C r: Always available. As posted.

morris

Israel 20K points or 95 USD Which is better ??

Eli

@morris:
well, if the value is 5000 for $35 then your better off paying cash.

Anonymous

@morris: Prob the $95 bec if each point is 0.007 each, then the 20k points are $140 vs the $95 cash.

Joe

Have you heard of them loaning points recently, they claim they don’t do it anymore. Is it just a HUCA situation?

Anonymous

You can book more than 2 reservations per hotel.

Eli

It’s less than .07 now.

Thanks Dan. One more question. I just returned from the IC HK after staying on a points reservation, 50,000 per night. Upon checkin I upgraded to the Harbor View 2 room Deluxe Suite for a nominal 4,000HKD fee. The Ambassador check in counter said I should get points for the upsell portion. Any ideas if it hasn’t posted yet? Were they mistaken?

Miami

Anything in South florida?

Miriam Leah

Can I book a room @$35.00 directly at the hotel?

Huh?

@Miriam Leah: Why would you be able to?

D.D

Just booked the HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS & SUITES SMITHFIELD – PROVIDENCE in Rhode Island for Chol Hamoed Pesach 2 nights. April 26-28 2016. This is a great deal!

Faigy

I’m trying to book the crowne plaza in Stamford ct, showing up at 30,000 points a nite. Am I doing something wrong?

DFan

How soon after you cancel do the points show up in your IHG account?

DFan

How long after I cancel do the points come into my IHG account?

lee

I purchased the 5,000 miles but couldn’t borrow against it as you have to be a member of certain IHG levels (I just started). So now, the minimum points I’ve seen has jumped to 10,000.00 points. Is this still worth it, if I bought another 5000 points? Thanks.
