Pointbreaks (till May 15, 2011) and Last Minute Rewards

[futaris]

New list is up. Stays until May 15, 2011. Nothing interesting in Oceania or Asia...

There is also mention of a new offer in the T&Cs, Last Minute Rewards:

“Last Minute Reward Nights” will allow Priority Club members globally to redeem Reward Nights at a 50% discount off the regular point price, for selected properties. Members will receive an e-mail on Monday providing a list of hotels where this offer will be available the following weekend, Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. Initially, this program will be offered on the first full weekend of every month, starting with May 6, 7 and 8, 2011.

I don't think there was anything new - just extended the ones that were there.

More like a subset really, plus only good for stays to 15 May = steep!

I suppose the ever fading Points Breaks are giving way for a new kind of awards scheme.

I don't see why people really thought Points Breaks were the best feature of PC. They were always hit-and-miss / pray-to-the-Gods affairs. As if the earn and burn power coupled with elite status qualification and outrageous promotions wasn't enough of a reason that PC is a fairly compelling reason to hold an account with them (unless you could fully fund another hotel brand much better, e.g. HH, SPG, Hyatt or Marriott).

So nothing in Australia and outside of China only 1 property in Asia.

As mentioned are we about to see the end of PointsBreaks?

Well, we're about to see the start of Last Minute Rewards, which may see PointBreaks downplayed a bit.
