INSIDER SECRET: Using this IHG Points & Cash trick you can “buy” IHG points for as little as ~0.6 cents each, that means you’ll be able to book hotels on the list for between ~$30 and ~$90 per night.

The new IHG PointBreaks list is up. You can book discounted hotels for stays through October 31, 2019. With IHG PointBreaks, you can book certain IHG hotels around the world for 5,000, 10,000, or 15,000 IHG points per night.

Taking advantage of these deals is a great way to get even more value out of the all-time-high intro bonus available with the IHG® Rewards Club Premier Credit Card. Right now you can earn 125,000 IHG points after spending $3,000 in the first three months of account opening. All those bonus points are in addition to the card’s other stand perks like, the fourth night free benefit (on award stays), Global Entry or TSA PreCheck fee credit and automatic Platinum IHG status for as long as you have the card.

IHG PointBreaks List Through October 2019

The PointBreaks promotion used to be one of the better ongoing hotel promotions. I’ve even booked a posh InterContinental Residences apartment for only 5,000 IHG points a night during a past promotion, but IHG has slowly squeezed the life out of these discounts. It’s hard not to be disappointed.

Even though this promotion isn’t what it used to be, this round of hotels is a bit better than the past few lists.

It’s best to book a PointBreaks stay as soon as possible if you think you’ll use it because the best hotels will sell out much faster at this discounted rate. You can always cancel later and get your IHG points back if you change your mind.

You’re allowed to book two stays per hotel and the stay length is not limited by anything other than award availability at the hotel and the promotion dates.

The full list of hotels is below, but once the hotel sells out of the available PointBreaks rooms they will be removed from the list on the IHG page. To see the most up-to-date list head over to the IHG website here.

Earn More IHG Points

You can quickly rack up IHG points by opening the IHG® Rewards Club Premier Credit Card. With it, you can earn 125,000 IHG points after you spend $3,000 on purchases within the first three months of account opening.

You can also transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards points to IHG at a 1:1 ratio, but I don’t recommend this because there are much better transfer partners that will give you exponentially more value for your points, like Hyatt.

I don’t know where did you got that list, but https://www.ihg.com/rewardsclub/content/us/en/redeem-rewards/pointbreaks shows much less hotels. For example I don’t see Crown Plaza in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic listed as 10,000 point deal.

Was disappointed that two days into this many of the even 15k point rooms that fit our plans were gone. Guess I should be quicker on the draw!!!

Thank you all for this. I just made a reservation for an upcoming road trip in a couple of weeks. That is combined with the VISA Signature hotel stays you told us about a while back. Just like my last vacation you are helping make this one much more affordable as well!

I love hearing about your successes! Thanks for sharing them and I wish you a wonderful trip!

I have tried this before and they just block a whole bunch of dates so it’s impossible to get anything on a weekend (even a non-holiday weekend). I just checked at two hotels in North America and absolutely nothing is available for points. One can still pay and book. Not sure how one would succeed in booking anything?! Thanks

@Pam You are right indeed. However, in my recent stay with Candlewood Disneyland LA, I was upgraded with point stay. You could ask nicely at check-in, highly YMMV
