The first list will be out Tuesday our time, locally the HI Vanuatu is the only hotel but good value!

I see two InterContinental hotels in Asia and the Mendoza one although I would imagine that they are probably not extremely busy during this time of the year.

Wouldn't it be nice if Holiday Inn Pattaya was on the list.

I managed to get it a couple of years ago but have not seen it since.

Unfortunately not much of anything interesting in the list for me this time around.. :-|

HI vanuatu did not last long, even in cyclone season.

New list this week, preview here :

Point Breaks - IHG Rewards Club Connect


No locals by the looks of it, the Staybridge at AUH is a good one.

It is like buying a ticket in the lottery.

Disappointing most of the time.

It is but at $35 worth a night, one cannot expect to be happy all the time.

Totally understand and I wouldn't mind the occasional $70 worth a night.

But when you can book a night with breakfast for 2 at ~$80-$90/night and the redemption is $105/night without breakfast then there is something seriously wrong with redemptions.

Not being a knowledge base with point breaks, but for months they've been everywhere but AU. I've got a wad of points waiting for a clean break, but this is getting ridiculous .

Frustrating, similar pattern last year and then they came good, but nowhere near like the first year they were brought in, where pretty much each hotel appeared in the first year.

CP in Canberra I think august was the last I can recall.. I thought for sure some of the undersold HI's in west Sydney would be on 1 of the mist recent lists...

With points breaks, do you only have to book within the dates and stay later or book and stay within the dates?

Also, do many come up in SIN and/or AUH?

You have to book and stay within the dates, and this months AUH property was one of the first I have seen, although the plethora of hotels down the road often see a DXB option.
