On Wednesday I posted approximately the changes Hyatt made to the terms & conditions of their Best Rate Guarantee (BRG). The major hotel chains always want you to book directly with them so that they don't enjoy to pay online travel agencies commissions. The BRGs are intended to give you peace of mind in doing so,as they offer a further reduction if you find a lower rate elsewhere.
Last week Hyatt updated the terms of their BRG to add the following:"When multiple publicly available and immediately bookable room-only rates for the same hotel, same type of room, or same number of guests,same dates of stay and same length of stay are available through a Hyatt website you must reserve the lowest rate to be eligible for Hyatt’s Best Rate Guarantee."The way I interpreted that was that if multiple rates for a room were available, only the lowest would qualify towards the BRG. Put another way, and if there were an advance purchase rate and a flexible rate,only the cheaper advance purchase rate would qualify. And that would be tricky, since you enjoy to create your booking before claiming your BRG, and so you'd enjoy to book a non-refundable stay,only to possibly later be denied the request.
