In principle yes, although there is some dispute in other threads about whether there is a separate availability bucket for P+C DSUs versus regular DSUs. I've also had issues where the hotel changes a BRG rate to the HDR once a DSU is applied - lots of hassles to get reversed...
19% tax makes it almost $150 to save 10,000 points. Almost to the point where a full points booking makes more sense. Except no DSU and no stay credit...
