Most important points to consider for a valid BRG:
1. The comparison website MUST bill in the same currency as the hotel .
2. The cancellation terms must be equal or better, than the terms by the hotels.
3. The Website needs to provide INSTANT confirmation.
4. The room names should match, but if you can demonstrate, that the room is comparable, it will also work with discrepancies in the name.
5. The price difference has to be more than either USD 1 or 1% (whichever is higher).
5.b In regards to hotels located in australia and New Zealand the price difference must be greater than 3% .
Hotels for which you will get reimbursed:
(Note: There have been significant problems with getting full reimbursements from IHG, especially for reimbursements in other currencies than USD)
IC Istanbul ( BRG claim from the 17.05.2013/ "Technical Difficulties")
IC Frankfurt ( BRG claim from the 20.08.2013/ "Technical Difficulties")

Once a BRG booking has been adjusted, one then typically gets a "booking cannot be viewed" message when trying to look up the reservation on the IHG site. Is there a trick to still see the booking details such as the room type etc.? (i know it's in the original booking email, but i am wondering about the latest state of the reservation)

go into your booking on the website, amend the booking as if you are wanting to change a room type, but while changing the room type pick a refundable rate, in a couple of days time cancel the booking
just for clarity the above is not always possible
