I'm very satisfied with this outcome. This hotel genuinely keeps the BRG promise and takes care of Plats. However, I hope the process could be faster since I've already made a non-refundable booking at another hotel.
Aside from the delay, that is very good news. And seems to be a trend that submitting through the "official channel" (ie the online form) is of no use and contacting the hotel is a much better method.
