Since I'm plat the deluxe is not worth paying for. I'll stick with LM BKK and book direct with SPG at this hotel on my last day as the price is lower (4500)...
So they consistently stuck by their rule that they won't match a lower rate if the lower rate offers breakfast as an additional inclusion. The T&Cs are moronic in this way, but they followed their own rules as I think has been well documented in earlier cases in this thread.

I understand not wanting to pay extra for Grand Deluxe as a Plat. In case you or anyone else is interested, there's a Luxury Upgrade rate available for a Grand Deluxe room at the price of a Deluxe with a min stay of 2 nights. Cat4 C&P awards are also offered.
