At the end of the day, loyalty programs are judged by how rewarding they are. Which means that it's not enough to simply offer a wide range of attractive awards. The awards must be
affordable
. InterContinental Hotels Group gets that.
Last week, the company published its latest quarterly list of
PointBreaks
hotels, available for award booking at just 5,000 points per night. With only 106 participating hotels, it was among the shortest list of discounted hotels in recent memory. But, well, you know what they say about gift horses.

Bookings at the discounted rates must be made between August 6 and August 12, for stays completed between August 7 and October 27.
