IHG has released its latest Pointsbreak program, which runs from April 30, 2018 – July 31, 2018. This is the second time that IHG released its new version of Pointsbreak. In the past, all hotels on the list can be redeemed for 5,000 points per night. However, they revamped their list to include discounts of down to 10,000 or 15,000 points per night as well.
You have probably already read from other bloggers that IHG hotels has revamped its Pointsbreak program, which runs from January 29, 2018 – April 30, 2018. In the past, the promotion offers a reduction in the number of points required to redeem for a free hotel night. Hotels that required 30,000 or 40,000 points per night can be redeemed for 5,000 points per night if they are listed in the promotion. I believe that this is an incredible offer that I have been able to take advantage of on many occasions.
It has been almost 2 years since I last update the hotel hotel expiry policies. There have been a few changes ever since, so I thought I’d give my list a quick update.
For the list below, I have grouped the hotels into three different categories: (1) Never expire; (2) Never expire with activity; and (3) Strict Expiry Policy.
IHG Rewards is one of my favourite hotel chains. I feel that they offer decent value, especially during their Pointsbreak promotions where you can redeem 5,000 points for any of the hotel rooms on the list. I have personally taken advantage of these offers many times.
Unfortunately, it has been slim pickings for Canadians trying to earn IHG Rewards since the discontinuation of the amazing Capital One co-branded credit cards.
The IHG Rewards PointsBreak promotion is back!
Promotional Period
This new list runs from is valid from April 24, 2017 to July 31, 2017. I am always happy to see a new list come out. I just hope that they keep it going!
Value
I value IHG points at 0.7 cents a piece. With this promotion, you can potentially get a room that normally costs over $250 per night for only 5,000 points, which gives you over 5 cents per point in value.
CBC reported that InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) said credit card information of their guests may have been stolen last year at thousands of locations, including more than 100 in Canada, mostly in Ontario and Alberta.

IHG Rewards Club just released it hotel reward redemption changes. About 650 hotels are changing categories. What this means is that the number of points required for a free hotel night is going to change, effective January 15, 2017.
There has been a fair amount of discussion on our blog (Last Batch of Capital One IHG Reward Points, Both Capital One IHG Credit Cards Discontinued) about Capital One’s difficulty in crediting the final amount of IHG Points owed to former cardholders.
In the summer of 2015, the Capital One co-branded IHG Rewards credit cards discontinued. However, existing credit cardholders were grandfathered. But a year later, grandfathered cardholders received a letter stating that their credit cards will cease on November 7, 2016, which has come and gone.
