Book IHG Hotels for Only 5,000 Points a Night, TopCashback Giveaway & More
Headlines and highlights from around the web:
- On Monday IHG released the latest list of PointBreak Hotels for stays through July 31, 2017. PointBreak rewards can be booked for only 5,000 points a night, at least a 75% savings since award nights typically start at 20,000 points. No Intercontinental properties on the list this time, but some decent locations. The Crowne Plaza Panama Airport is on the list — I stayed there last year on a quick getaway last year. 5,000 points is a great deal and it’s the hotel closest to the airport, perfect if you’re getting in late or have an early flight out in the morning.
- TopCashback just launched their Spring Treats Giveaway. Solve the daily clue to find hummingbirds and earn instant cash prizes. I’ve won a couple of dollars each time in the past. They also have a sign up bonus for new members through May 5. Sign up via my link and get a $5 Amazon Gift Card when you earn $10 in cashback.
