Let me piggy-back onto this thread.
I've booked several stays on Expedia at the Sofitel Sydney.The rates are not pre-paid but pay at the hotel rates and are listed on the expedia confirmation as the MAGNIFIQUE BREAKFAST rate but were 50% of the price listed on accor.com for the same rate.
BRGed one of the reservations but didn't bother with the others given my universal poor experience with Accor's BRG -to my surprise the BRG was honoured.
Any hope that as it is not a prepaid rate that it might qualify for LeClub Benefits/Points?
