Link: Priority Club PointsBreak List
Via New Girl in the Air, Priority Club released their new PointsBreak list for hotels. Hotels on the PointsBreak list cost only 5,000 points for a night (the regular rate is 10,000 to 50,000 points)!
You can get Priority Club points by:
- Using Cash & Points to buy points for 0.7 cents per point.
- Transferring Ultimate Rewards points from your Chase Sapphire Preferred, Chase Ink Bold, Chase Ink Plus, or JP Morgan Select.
- Applying for the Priority Club credit card for 60,000 to 80,000 points. It also includes a free night every year, after your 1st year which makes up for the annual fee.
Usually, transferring points from Chase Ultimate Rewards or Membership Rewards to Priority Club is not the best value, but it certainly could make sense for hotels on the PointsBreak list.
Don’t count on all the hotels on the PointsBreak list being available until October 15, 2012, because hotels may sell out and be removed from the list at any time.
It doesn’t hurt to make a booking using points, because you can usually cancel them without a penalty (but read the cancellation policy before booking).

I have earned and redeemed millions of airline miles and hotel points to travel the world for free. Now I'm blogging to help more people do the same! 
The Priority Club points break deal is great .. $35 a night for a hotel 20mins outside Manhattan: NEW JERSEY
CROWNE PLAZA HOTEL ENGLEWOOD
Thank you! My husband has been asking me for a few week to book a room for us in October, and one of these was right where we needed to be. I also used your detailed explanation on the Cash and Points to purchase some points, thanks a bunch!
Great! Booked a room in San diego for our next Sea World visit. Thank you!
The Crowne Plaza in Englewood, NJ is already sold out. Probably because it’s so close to NYC. Unfortunately, there is no way to change your dates once booked either! Anyone need September 4 there?
On Aug. 1st I booked 2 rooms for us and some extended family at the Middleton/Newport Holiday Inn Express in Rhode Island for a stay at the end of August. We all decided we wanted to spend an additional night, but when I went to book it on the 3rd, the hotel was already off the list! Lesson learned! Some of these hotels go fast.
