However, because "Hotel A" has a lower refundable rate on Hyatt.com, the customer service representative doesn't approve the BRG based on price alone, even though the cancellation policy is vastly different.

This is markedly different from what I have experienced from Starwood's BRG policy, which matches based on the specific cancellation policy...
Is there a typo in here? Do you mean that Hyatt.com has a lower non-refundable rate? If so, I have never experienced that. They should only be comparing to the daily rate which is refundable. Bad agent?
