IHG raising/lowering award prices for many properties
« on: January 02, 2018, 12:05:55 AM »
As per DOC, and Lucky, IHG seems to be raising award prices on as many as 500 properties by 5-10k. On the flip side, they will be lowering award prices by 5k at as many as 200 properties. This link has a list of all the changes.

Brutal! Many hotels going to the new 70K bracket. Many of those were just 50K two years ago. Aside from their annual certificate, their points hold even less value to me now. I'll try to lock in a visit to the IC HK before it goes up.

InterContinental David Tel Aviv   40,000 -> 50,000
Crowne Plaza Eilat 25,000 -> 20,000

Can't say that I like Eilat, but at least there is something good here..


A LOT of CA properties went up ... some of them >60%
The Bay area is a wasteland for miles&points :(

Bad news, I'll try to do some bookings before it is effective.
