Hotel Loyalty 2011 Q2 Promotions IHG One Rewards

Is this the end of the Priority Club PointBreaks 5,000 points Reward?

The good news is the current list of Prioriy Club PointBreaks hotels has been extended to May 15, 2011. There are no new hotels added to the list from the previous offer for March and April stays. The list has been shortened from 107 hotels on February 28, 2011 that were available for booking through April 30, down to 70 hotels that have extended the PointBreaks 5,000 points per night reward until May 15.

There is speculation on FlyerTalk that Priority Club PointBreaks rewards as we have known them at 5,000 points are dying off in May 2011.

The evidence:

  1. PointBreaks list extended for three weeks with no new properties listed.
  2. Priority Club launches Last Minute Rewards at 50% off the standard reward night rate next week with an email scheduled for Monday May 1 on participating hotels for the weekend of Friday May 6 – Sunday May 8.
  3. A new version of the InterContinental Ambassador brochure delivered last week describes PointBreaks Reward nights as 50% off.

Not only the PointBreaks news, but FlyerTalk member Chongcao in the UK received an InterContinental Ambassador brochure with no mention of 10,000 point hotel Priority Club rewards. Currently there are still about 200 properties listed as 10,000 point hotel rewards. Chongcao actually posted lists of Priority Club hotels March 2010 showing the different levels of hotel rewards available through Priority Club. This is still my web destination when I want to check hotel reward levels for 10K and 25K and InterContinental Hotels at 30K and 40K. Sounds like Chongcao may update the list soon for 2011.

    I guess that it was bound to come. With the contests and the crack the case there are a whole lot of points sitting out there. And at 5K a night, points breaks are big money losers for them I am sure.

    I guess this is why they can afford to give 60,000 bonus points for their credit card. No thanks! The trend of devaluing “loyalty” programs will only accelerate in the coming years. Take advantage while you can.

  • […] 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. […]
