Every hotel chain these days has a loyalty program where you can earn points towards free nights, just like airline points for free flights. There are lots of debates and evaluation of the various programs, like Hyatt, Hilton, Marriott, Starwood, Choice Hotels, etc.

One hotel chain, Intercontinental Hotels – which includes Holiday Inn, Crowne Plaza, Candlewood Suites, and Intercontinental Resorts – has a special program that they call “PointBreaks,” where they release a list of hotels that are offered at a discounted rate.

Typically, most Holiday Inns are 25,000 points per night and Intercontinental Resorts are 50,000 points per night, but the Points Breaks specials are only 5,000 points per night. The deals are only good for a few months, and they usually book up pretty quickly. Priority Club just just released the latest list of their PointBreaks hotels: http://bit.ly/19Qou6g

While the hotels vary from very average hotels in random cities like the Holiday Inn Express in Sylacauga, Alabama to some very nice hotels in big cities, like the Intercontinental Resort in Athens, Greece.

You can earn 80,000 Priority Club Points by signing up for their Credit Card (http://bit.ly/12CFAe), so these PointBreaks deals really can go a long way!
