Very annoyed.

Edit: I just called and they said the 12500 point reservation was canceled. Not sure exactly what happened. I sure would remember canceling it and impossible that I would have changed it to the 35k cert. Nothing makes sense. They opened a case to try and have the 35k cert restored and 12,500 points used. Hope for the best.
When you make an award reservation that can be covered by a cert in your account-that is the default-but the system shows you before confirmation and you can opt for points instead by clicking a radio button.
