Priority Club New PointBreaks Hotels to July 30

My speculation on the demise of Priority Club PointBreaks was premature as a new set of hotels has been published for reward nights at 5,000 points for stays through July 30, 2011. This is a good sign and continued opportunity for cheap reward nights at 133 select hotels around the world over the next 12 weeks.

PointBreaks rewards may seem overwhelmingly targeted for U.S. locations with 79 hotels in the U.S. and 54 in all other countries. The limitation of Last Minute Rewards to U.S. hotels followed by a low presence of international hotels for PointBreaks has the appearance of Priority Club as a USA-centric loyalty program. Over 70% of IHG hotels are in the U.S. with Holiday Inn Express and Holiday Inn at around 2,500 hotels, and extended stay brands Staybridge Suites and Candlewood Suites with nearly 500 more hotels. The proportion of international hotels in PointBreaks is a fair sample relative to the proportion of non-U.S. hotels among 4,500 global hotels of InterContinental Hotels Group. PointBreaks include 16 Crowne Plaza hotels with 8 in the U.S. and 8 international and 3 InterContinental hotels in Egypt and Philippines available for 5,000 points per night through July 30.

Remember PointBreaks rooms are limited and once allocated rooms are booked these hotels drop off the list.

    Hey Ric,

    I’m planning a short trip to San Diego and at first had booked the Westin San Diego for $60 and 4000 SPG points per night. Also, the parking fee is $32 a night I believe.

    But now looking at the Points Breaks I think I will grab the San Diego Mission Valley Holiday Inn for 5000 priority points a night and save my cash and spg points.

    What are your thoughts? Is Mission Valley that far away from being able to do the touristy things in San Diego?

  • chemist661 May 10, 2011

    I checked the HI website & they have free parking. It is about 11-12 miles to downtown.

    It is part way up the 15 freeway to the North County area. If you have a car, no big deal. Take 15 South to 8 West & 163 South to get to Zoo, etc. The Wild Animal Park is north of the hotel off the 15 freeway.

    The Westin may be nicer but for 5K points/night, this HI is like paying $30 night.

    I would check Tripadvisor reviews to see if this hotel is acceptable to you.

  • chemist661 May 10, 2011

    Used my points for an early June stay in Houston. Used 10K pts for 2 nights @Candlewood suites in Houston. Coupled with the nearly free AA Eagle ticket that was offered to me (targeted), will be an inexpensive trip.

    Glad to see the PointsBreaks continue. 🙂

    Thanks chemist661 for answering Phil’s question about San Diego.

    I haven’t traveled to San Diego in about 15 years.

    Every year for the past five years I have said I was heading to San Diego to check out all the hotels, but I still haven’t scheduled that trip. I just find it so hard to get past the Orange County curtain whenever I head south from Monterey.

    […] la liste (2 en Egypte et 1 aux Philippines), mais il y a 133 hôtels en tout. Voici les liens chez Loyalty Traveler pour la liste complète, ou directement chez Priority Club ou il faut cliquer sur chaque région. […]
