However, when I look at other sights, like expedia, etc, I can book a room, even at expedia's "special" rate, which is a $100 USD lower than what I can get through SPG. The ppl at SPG warn me not to book with a 3rd party saying they'll end up walking me and to continue to check SPG site in case something opens up.
Any thoughts/experience with this? Any suggestions or should I give up and decide on another place to stay?
Why not file a BRG claim and book a fully refundable rate on SPG. This will get you a lower rate and the ability to change to an award night if that opens up.
