IHG Point Breaks July-Oct 2016: 5k/night
If you aren’t familiar with IHG Point Breaks then you defos need to check this out. IHG reduces the number of points required on a list of their hotels, worldwide, to just 5000 per night. This is an incredible deal. I had made plans last year to go to Egypt while the Intercontinental was on a Point Break, but ultimately decided to cancel plans after the downed EgyptAir flight. However, there are some interesting options to look at on the list. I tend to look at higher end properties that are on firesale rather than Holiday Inn, Candlewood Suite, etc that I would possibly pay a cash rate under $100/night anyways. I WANT BIG DEALS! MORE LUX, LESS BUX. Ok I’ll stop yelling.

It does not show Phnom Penh on the list. Do you have some information or was this a typo??
Hey Darron – when I posted this it was on the points break list. I actually used their redirect link to take you to the proper page. Now sure why the IHG site isn’t showing it now.
