Don't get me wrong, I'm sure the company sucks at BRGs sometimes. We've seen many instances where they denied it and then the person called back and they approved it and no one could explain why it was denied in the first place! THAT sort of thing should NOT happen.

But there are simply also a lot of instances where it was NOT a proper match -- and people here still whined and moaned about how they weren't honoring their BRG when, in fact, they simply didn't meet the requirements.

I completely agree with the fact that you cannot compare non-cancellable rate with cancellable rate. I also agree with the fact that you cannot compare rate when the room is actually different in the two sites.
Then there is the currency trick, which IMO really sucks. But at least it is clearly explained in the t&c.
Then there are the really silly reasons to deny a claim. When there is a 1 hour difference in cancellation deadline. Ore worst when the cancellation deadline is better on the third party site. This one, I just can't get it.
