How long after you cancel a points reservation, does it take for the points to go back into your available account balance?
How long after you cancel a Free Night Certificate reservation, does it take for the certificate or points to go back into your available balance?
Does a FN stay or points stay count as a stay during this COVID time?
Thanks.
If you want your free night cert back immediately, you need to detach it from the reservation before cancelling it. See the wiki in this thread to find out how.

Points will be returned immediately.
