All they needed was a credit card, and I can cancel free of charge as long as its a day in advance.

Does anyone know if I'll be able to use my free nights to pay for this reservation when I get them?
Nope - revenue rooms cannot be converted to award rooms. If the property is "full", when you cancel the revenue room, it probably would not go back into the base room inventory so you won't be able to book the award room. This strategy does absolutely nothing for you.
