However, in the case the competing rate is lower than SPG’s nonrefundable rate but higher than its refundable rate, SPG allows you to book the cancellable rate and file a BRG claim, whereas with LNF you would have to book a nonrefundable rate with all the risks that come with that (I know there is a 24-hour window period but I’m not familiar to how useful that period is).
You are correct. I totally get this. I see how that would be very advantageous. At the same time, I think I made it clear that I am only talking about a specific scenario. A scenario in which it is DISADVANTAGEOUS. And probably not all that uncommon a scenario.
