But to the issue at hand -- maybe the best idea is to use BRG 2 night rate and then use 22,000 points on third night as $445 rate (as of now) seems high.

is the BRG rate only valid for two nights? 22k for a $445 room is decent value but not extraordinary.

International high-end properties are often the best values. Currency exchange rates are also a factor for foreign properties.
