Elvoline room name: Suite - Two Doubles + Sofa Bed

Understand the risk of non refundable claims; traveling for sure so worth taking that risk.
So i made this claim; got a mail from the BRG desk that they see the lower price but this is not a valid claim because elvoline on their wbesite say that they will send the voucher within 30 minutes so it is not instant confirmation. However on the booking page under the prices they clearly mention Instant Confirmation. Have written to the BPG desk with the screenshot saying instant confirmation.

I know it is their rules and we have to play by them but this seems to stretch it quite a bit.
