Has anyone come across this sort of thing before, where a hotel charges in a different currency to the local, in relation to a BRG?

I want to put in a BRG for the IC, but don't want to find out it's ineligible due to the comparison actually needing to be in Zlotys.

Many thanks for any assistance!
OTA must bill (not just display) in the hotel currency quoted on searched IHG hotel.


It is not unusual, for example IC Bucharest, Romania, on IHG.COM displays EUROs but by law must bill at hotel in Romanian currency (RON).
