Can lurker confirm this? Deavlues the BRG guarantee for sure.
Allowing point upgrades on a BRG rate was a loophole, never a published benefit. Hyatt never intended this to happen. As far as I can tell, the loophole was closed well over a year ago, as applying point upgrades now automatically adjusts the rate to the Hyatt Daily Rate.
