Hi, fellow flyertalk members,

I know these questions have been addressed before, but I just can't seem to find the appropriate threads on the matter; even looked at the two big threads, "FFN FAQ" and "Where will you use your FFN".

I am planning to book a 3 night stay at the PH Tokyo for Feb 18 - Feb 21, but when trying to book using both points or FFN, it is said that the hotel is not participating. When booking the nights individually, they are available; in fact both room categories are available, Park King and Park Twin. I have enough free nights but not enough points. I can most likely book the nights individually or deal with it at check-in. Or would you suggest I book by phone?

I am Platinum Status.

Second question: If I book by points(and later switch to FFN) or use FFN to book the awards, would I be able to cancel these bookings? It is a bit far off to tell if I would complete the trip with certainty, but booking earlier is kind on availability.
