As an aside, I completely forgot to check that option before booking my flight. Thanks for the reminder for future trips.
To reiterate, you can use the miles/points from a travel package at some later date. They're just transferred into yor FF account and don't need to be used for the same trip as the hotel stay portion of the travel package. They're just subject to the same expiration rules as miles in your FF program that were earned by flying or spend on an affiliated credit card.
