My thought was that SPG was probably able to buy back inventory from these wholesalers under certain conditions, but it is possible that there were just some cancellations that freed up those rooms.
I would think if a person has to use the Plat overide in order to get a room then it will show as SoldOut on SPG.com. thusly how can a BRG be used if you cant book it at SPG.com?
