I'll post the results.
I'd probably go ahead with booking before contacting the property - if they agree to do it, then there's a reservation to modify.
Also, no reason to keep calling GP, since they can't confirm upgrades - you'll have to contact the property anyways.
You can always cancel the award reservation made (subject to cancellation policies) if they can't accomodate you.
