What: Be the first to experience the new InterContinental® Marseille – Hotel Dieu with our limited time opening offer. Enjoy a Deluxe room from €250 including breakfast, wifi internet access and a late check-out until 4 pm. Discover this new grandiose luxury hotel, established in a majestic, monument listed XVIIIth century building, as your gateway to the Provence.
Analysis: I looked in late May and there was availability – although @ €259 rather than the advertised €250, other types of room also available for a supplement. Must purchase at least 7 days in advance. This is the same rate as the advanced booking rate – so it is a “real deal”!

Notes:
(For all points offers see All Current Points Offers )
So Point Breaks have gone very Holiday Inn with a few Crowne Plaza/Hotel Indigo properties.
What’s also changed is the absence of any end date – I guess a refresh in 3 months times from now.
Have a look – plenty of properties – but nothing special.

What: “For $99 per night, kick back at a 4-star Chicago hotel this spring and indulge in some retail therapy on Michigan Avenue, just a half block away. This deal saves 40% on current prices.
Travel March 22-31 (including Easter) or April 1-5 and stay in an upgraded, larger room.
Or, for $119 per night, check in Sundays-Thursdays, April 6-30. Weekends are $30 more nightly.
The Crowne Plaza Avenue Chicago Downtown Magnificent Mile boasts an English-style pub, plus a 40th-floor lounge that showcases top city views. Head to the nearby theater district to check out a show or admire the tulips adorning the Magnificent Mile in mid-April”

What: Priority Club have their own Facebook profile which is generally used to push the “wonderfulness” of Priority Club, yet this post is probably illegal in the UK as even with the required points no Hotel is going to give you the top suite unless you are very special to them!

What: In previous years it was possible to secure Platinum status somewhere between 5 to 10 nights. Why? Because there were so many bonus points available and they all counted towards the 60,000 point target. This all changed in 2013, the following was received and posted by Dan which lays out the changes…
Beginning 01 Jan 2013, for purposes of determining Elite Status, Priority Club points are classified as either Elite Qualifying Points or Non-Elite Qualifying Points. The elite qualifying points which will be counted toward membership elite status are:
- Base points earned from qualifying rates paid for hotel stays
- Points collected from partner transactions
- Bonus Point packages
- Meeting Rewards points
All other point earning transactions will be considered non-elite qualifying points and will not be counted toward elite status”
Analysis:
From personal experience and reading comments posted..(please add your experiences below)

Not qualifying
The bottom line
Is it possible to have a list of properties that’s even worse than last time?
Make your own mind up as the new point break list has been updated. Now valid for stays until 31st March 2013.
