One week ago, InterContinental Hotels Group made an announcement that there would be no hotels moving up in the number of IHG Rewards Club points required for an award night and 100 properties would require 5,000 less points starting on April 15, 2014 (access the piece here).
IHG Rewards Club has tended not to (at least not in 2013) release a list of hotels moving up/down in the number of points required for awards. We have now compiled the list below of 101 properties that require 5,000 points less today than the previous point requirement:

Conclusion
I am glad that IHG Rewards Club did just as they promised a week ago and reduced the number of points required by 5,000 points for 101 properties, mostly in the US however.
We will release a new IHG Rewards Club Master Property List tomorrow with this new information.
Nothing jumps out at me as particularly exciting. Main thing is that prices haven’t gone up.
I would say so as well.
Holiday Inn Resort PHUKET MAI KHAO BEACH RESORT at 15K is great value!
How is the property?
It’s great for a 15K points property. Room: http://instagram.com/p/gmvgP_Q5Fn/# http://instagram.com/p/gnGMJqQ5CB/# and beach http://instagram.com/p/grjsQlw5Iu/# Located north part of the island, so quite an expensive ride to Patong Beach Nightlife due to taxi mafia. You also need to cope with the fact majority of guests are Russians.
