Well done,
NJUPINTHEAIR, hopefully on all our behalf! And thank you,
Smart Shopper. I think that the BRG, LRG, LFG are a slimy game by many of the travel industry companies.
BTW, FWIW, I recently got some very nice rates on booking.com. For the first time - as I was going to be away from Hyatt- and Hilton-country in Italy and France - I shopped in TripAdvisor. They seem, on the surface, to search like Kayak, and pop up several booking portals with their prices for several hotels in a city. Booking.com consistently came up cheapest for the same hotel(s). Then, when one hotel's portal dropped below the booking.com rate, I contacted booking.com re
their BRG. Return email said it had been changed. It was $5 difference, but the point here is that they honored it for that amount.
(I know... sorry for going outside the church, but I had to.
