I was going to post that, but I first checked MR's expiration T&C's which say:

To retain your points, keep your account active by doing one of the following at least once every two years:

- Make a paid (or redemption) stay at any of our participating hotels worldwide
- Redeem points
Which differentiates a redemption stay from redeeming points as two different items.

I would assume that if you redeem points to extend but later cancel, then you have undone the redemption and data would revert, to the redeem/cancel trick wouldn't work.

Blueskyheaven - did you re-check today?
