We know that in general, a canceled booking won't reset expiration. But does anyone know about points & cash? Is that treated as a purchase that resets expiration, even if the reservation is canceled?
My GF has 30K expiring this month. And actually needs two one-night reservations at a 20K hotel in August. Normally we'd do 2x 15K plus cash. But since there's a chance the coronavirus situation is still bad enough in August that we'd want to cancel. If the points & cash "purchase doesn't reset the expiration, she'd lose those points. If that's the case we'd spend more cash to just buy the 10K outright and book straight 20K points only reservations to be safe.
