Dirty game with BRG department, maybe same of lukers can answer 'Can we make BRG claim on sold out rooms on spg pages ?' And then update wiki page.
According to our records, you submitted a claim on October 8th, which was approved for one night at Le Méridien St. Julians Hotel & Spa. The rate has already been changed to reflect this.

The other (multiple) submissions you made were either closed as a duplicate request or because the availability changed and there was no availability on either website when the BRG claim was reviewed.

So, the answer is...yes, you can make a BRG claim if rooms are sold out on Starwood proprietary web sites and there is availability on a valid third party web site within the parameters of the BRG terms and conditions; and, your successful experience proves this.
