Do BPGs like that tend to go through? Or is Radisson likely to deny me and argue that a "Standard room with a king bed" is not the same as their "Guest room with a king Sleep number bed"?

I submitted yesterday -- still waiting for a response. Just curious of other's experiences/thoughts. Thanks!

Just to follow up on this, my BPG request was GRANTED for this without any hassle. Quite a savings too! It is a 2-night stay that would have been $228 before taxes ($109 for the first night and $119 for the second night). I found it elsewhere at BookingDotCom (via Kayak) for only $151. They accepted it and subtracted the 25% -- so I got the 2 nights that would have been $228 for only ~$113. Half price! Sweet.

It only worked because I was doing TWO nights. If I tried either of those nights as a single night at the same site, it didn't beat Radisson's price.
