Yes
But in either case award inventory may or may not be available at 330 days out. 330 days is the earliest it could be available, not when it is actually available.

That is one approach.
It would mean not making use of excursion perk.
Additionally, it means if you had to cancel later, it would be separate cancellations fees (if subject to such fees based on status at the time of cancellation), 2x fees.
