Commentary

The only hotel on the list that interests me is Holiday Inn Plovdiv, Bulgaria. Holiday Inn Plovdiv is a new hotel opened in October 2016 with good TripAdvisor reviews.

I spent two nights in Plovdiv this month. I loved the city with its Roman ruins, cobblestone streets, cool pubs, cats, art and music. Plovdiv is designated European Capital of Culture 2019.

But I won’t be planning a trip to go back there before the end of January.

Plovdiv Roman-1

I had planned to stay at Holiday Inn Plovdiv two weeks ago to complete my IHG Accelerate offer, then realized I forgot to take my IHG Rewards Club MasterCard to Europe to seal the Accelerate deal. I was not that excited to spend $95 anyway. The Ramada Trimontium Plovdiv, where I stayed two nights is more convenient for walking to the train station and Old Town.

My primary travel plans are booked for London and Prague during this PointBreaks period. I will be more hopeful for the next set of PointBreaks Feb-April when I want to travel to Romania, although a good PointBreaks deal could sway me to another European destination.

    Where do you see $5.00 for 1,000 points? If you buy 60,000 points, they will give you 120,000 and that comes out to $5.75 per 1,000 points. Lower quantities have lower rates ($6.25 for 1,000 points when you buy 5,000 and get 5,000).

    Please update your article or point to a valid link that is selling points at the proce mentioned.

    Thank You

    @AR – thanks for the correction. I had been writing about Hilton points for $5 per 1,000 in my previous article and had a brain fade.

    My related article shown below this Oct-Jan 2017 IHG Pointbreaks article would have alerted me to the mistake. I wrote $28.75 nights in the title under similar circumstances one year ago.

    IHG PointBreaks list Oct 31-Jan 31 for $28.75 room nights

    There were people targeted for a 25% discount on IHG Points & Cash bookings earlier this week Oct 24-26. I was not one of them. People who were offered the 25% discount could buy points 20,000 points for $86.25 at hotels normally priced at $115 for 20,000 points.

    New IHG Accelerate Tasks and targeted Points and Cash discount offer

    Earlier this year I picked up 20,000 points for $92 during the IHG Rewards Club Points & Cash 20% discount.

    IHG Points+Cash 20% discount rate to May 31, $92 = 20K points
