What's the easiest way to do this?
Although a couple of posters did not get their certificates extended when converting to new certificates, the default appears to be one year from the date the award is changed. If you know the dates of your new reservation, it would probably be easiest to make a points advance reservation before calling to have your old certificate converted and attached.
