New Points Breaks list Monday

[andye]

No experience of any of these hotels but Vietnam looks the pick of a slim bunch

 

[exceladdict]

Couldn't find any availability at that IC a quick look - is there a trick to it?

 

[JohnK]

Truly embarrassing list yet again.

 

[Rick93]

They reckon the IC Nha Trang sold out their PB rooms in less than an hour after release in NORTH AMERICAN time ...

which means, we in OZ didn't stand a chance ...

I've been inclined to rank points break releases with the rest of IHG. Nothing much to be inspired by but occasionally the exception makes it still worth playing the game.....just.

Word on the street is Monday's PointsBreak list will have an Australian property ...finally. I can only remember CP Canberra as the last ... Too bad it is going to be Warwick Farm Holiday Inn ;-(

The UK hotels have some pretty uninspiring destinations too.
Not sure if the IC Mendoza could be tied into a rugby trip

Now that has some attraction for me, rugby, great steaks and some good red wine (will not mention the hot women in case my wife reads this).

 

[FRONT ROWER]

It is not a completely terrible roadside motel. We did a brief review: Holiday Inn Warwick Farm (Greater Sydney) on IHG PointsBreaks - Miles Down Under

 

[Rick93]

Well, I picked up four rooms for a Saturday night in several weeks time.

Family dinner - we'll stay and all have breaky the next day ...

No worries about driving after drinking etc.

I loved the first comment under your review, was this what attracted Rick93?

 

[Rick93]

That's funny ...

I placed the second comment ...

However, I'll benefit from having a family get-together at this hotel.

Aside from getting four rooms for just 20,000 points, we have a total of four eDining credits ( $50. ) to negotiate with management. Plus, there's the standard 25% off ALL food and drinks.

Surprise, surprise!

I toughed it out (3 kids under 8) to just after midnight last night to try and get the Bali property. Sure enough fell asleep and at 630am 75% of November and all of December and January were gone.
Boo.

Loyalty Lobby has an explanation for this

First you need to understand how hotel loyalty programs make award rooms available. Hilton, Hyatt and SPG will have award rooms available as long as there are standard rooms available for sale. Some hotels may game the availability by having the “standard” room to be accessible etc.
Other programs such as the Marriott Rewards and IHG Rewards Club merely require that affiliated hotels must make certain percentage number of rooms available as awards every night. Marriott Rewards also allows properties to have blackout dates that can be for months at a time.
IHG affiliated hotels must make 5% of their room inventory as awards. Holiday Inn Benoa Bali has 171 rooms and thus must make at least 8 rooms available as redemptions every night. There is nothing preventing properties offering greater award availability.
I would expect the base line award reimbursement for this property to be roughly $20 per night. There is a sweetener available for properties that offer greater award availability and people book them by doubling the reimbursement etc. Also, when the occupancy rate is high (95% or higher), the loyalty program will reimburse the Average Daily Rate (ADR) of the night in question.
Hotels cannot choose whether they are on PointBreaks or not. The IHG makes the decision based on criteria unknown. It would be unrealistic for hotel of this size to allow let’s say 100 room reservation per night on PointBreaks.
The key to book the most popular properties is to book them IMMEDIATELY when the booking window opens. That is the reason why we have the BOOK NOW post up within couple of minutes after the booking has been enabled.

[whatmeworry]

Due to the limited availability, each member may only book two PointBreaks[SUP]®[/SUP] Reward Nights reservations per hotel during the special offer time period.

Did anybody notice this? Is this for real, only 2 nights or two reservations?

 

[thatsthatmattressman]

2 Reservations ..they can be multi day ..they are just trying to prevent people from speculatively blanketing a bunch of times then cancelling later
