My TCB showed as pending until I completed my stay last weekend and now a note is there saying the vendor rejected it, which I'm assuming is because of the change in rate from the BRG. So apparently you can't get a refund through TCB if you used a BRG claim as well. Didn't see it discussed but figured I'd throw it out there as a data point. |

Yes, the same happened to our BRG reservations. Also, reservations made through TCB for Park Inn never showed up.

Sorry for the newb question: What do TCB and BRG stand for?
BRG = Best Rate Guarantee |
I'll add another note that 2 different stays at Country Inn and Suites where I submitted a BRG but was rejected are now showing that the vendor rejected it on TCB. I have submitted claims on both as I did pay the full rate at which I booked. We'll see what happens.
Also I have had around 165k points post from this promo so far with another 92k or so on the way! |
Data point - I was successful in getting TCB to pay. I originally booked a country inn through TCB, and it tracked. Then submitted a BRG claim, got the lower rate, and it automatically showed up as a separate line item on TCB. The BRG rate just displayed as payable a day or two ago, and the original rate I had booked at showed rejected - which is correct. So YMMV. Lucky me, I guess :)

I hate having to chase down things to get people to do what the promise to do UUGGHH. |
There's an entire thread on using TCB for Radisson where this is being discussed. So as not to take over this generic big night giveaway thread.

Radisson just keeps on giving! Besides the 4500 e-rewards sign up bonus, I got 2k for the welcome promo, plus 2k online booking and on top of that the hotel's welcome gift for gold was a choice of items, I chose 3K. After the 20X points per $, and Gold Bonus 50%, I got the 50K. Largest payout ever!!!

If in fact we can triple dip, I’m set. I have a Radisson, Park Inn and Country Inn no more than 10 miles from my work in Dallas. Going to enlist my grandparents, who I status matched to Silver from Hyatt, to do the same over Memorial Day weekend.
18,000 points for booking online 18,000 points for normal earnings (Average of $80.00 per room per night x 25 points per dollar) 414,000 bonus points 4,500 bonus points for signing my grandfather up through e-rewards Total Cost: $720.00 Total points earned: 454,500 Converting 200,000 points for 36,000 AA miles and using 250,000 points for 5 nights at The May Fair London. I'll use 44,000 existing AA miles to polish off 2 Award tickets to London this fall with the Mrs. That will do. Where do the 414k Bonus points come from? Is there another promo? And how do you get 25pts/$ instead of 20? Due to status? |

And how do you get 25pts/$ instead of 20? Due to status? I think it's... 9 rooms in total: 3 rooms booked by each of 3 people So 50k + 44k + 44k = 138k for each of 3 people |
If I make a reservation with the cash and points and then cancel a reservation before the penalty date , will the points be deposited back in my account right away?

I did it twice today, switching around some stays at a Radisson and Park Inn in Dallas. The points were back in before I could scroll to the top and see the balance !^ |
