If it's a refund/re-charge, I could potentially lose my 50K Premier bonus.

It varies. I have had them only add-collect the additional amount, but I have also had the whole refund/recharge steps. It seems to depend on how complex your change is. Simple changes are probably just an additional charge, but complex ones would require the whole refund/recharge.
