50,000 points is enough for an IHG hotel room at any of their hotels in the world, but the smarter way to use them is for the Pointsbreak rotating list of 5,000 point a night hotels. If you use them this way, you could get 10 nights free from this promotion which is awesome!

This means for my promo I can get a total of 98,000 bonus points on top of the normal points I would accrue! Yeah! This will be enough for 20 nights in Pointbreaks hotels which is how I am planning on spending them. Last month they offered the Intercontinental Medellin which would be a great way to take 20 free nights!
