NOT ANY MORE
Instead, they are moving to a model more closely resembling the IHG model. If IHG has a non-refundable rate that is lower (and in most cases it does) the claim is rejected.
All good things have to START COMMING TO AN END. My next prediction: they will limit the number of approved claims that you can have in any given month (much like that Wyndham BRG did).

if this is true, than the brg is worth nothing. it was fun as long as it lasted. maybe i should have claimed more. ... can anyone else confirm that the lower membership rate does indeed count, now?
