Cancellation policies are NOT part of the BW BRG. It's lowest price available for the type of room booked. This will usually work out in your favor compared to other BRG programs, since essentially any rate you find for comparison will work.

It's probably "Economy room, smoking" vs. "standard double room, non smoking" that's the difference. Especially smoking vs. non-smoking. Probably nothing to do with the rate rules themselves.
