As an update, these category changes will be effective tomorrow January 25, 2019. Tonight is your last chance to book anything that is going up in price.

IHG Rewards Club have announced their 2019 Point Changes, in which nearly 700 of their hotels will be either going up or down for free night awards. Glancing through the list, it appears most of these changes are negative as the hotels are increasing in the number of points required to stay for a free night.
