Agent said it wouldn't be a problem. However clearly something happened as they put me on hold several times and said something about making sure they didn't want to lose the certificate. Eventually the agent came back on the line and said not to worry that my account balance is now showing a negative balance that the manager when he comes in tomorrow would fix this and attach my certificate to the new reservation.

I'm glad I emptied out my balance like someone suggested earlier on in the thread before calling in as it's clearly obvious now there was a mistake made. The balance went down 45,000 points after whatever they did. I'll see what happens tomorrow and if the manager fixes it but have a feeling I will have to call back in to sort out this mess. I really hope the certificate wasn't lost in the process when it was detached! I asked for the certificate number but the agent didn't seem to know what I was talking about.
I suspect one of two things happened.

1) They cancelled your old cert and ordered you a new cert for a higher points cost.
2) They ordered you a new NC4 cert for 45k points and left your existing cert somewhere, either attached to the reservation or in your account.

Check your email for confirmations of what they did and check your account to see what certs show unattached and attached. Keep monitoring and if they do not fix the issue call back.
