If you change a Marriott Bonvoy Points reservation, it will reprice to the number of points required at the time you change it. Could be higher. Could be lower.
This applies not only when changing the dates, but also when changing the number of guests, switching from points to certificates, and any other substantive change. It even applies if you change nothing except to accept a new rate (using "View/Modify") -- which is a good thing if the rate has gone down and something you wouldn't do if the rate has gone up.
A few updates to your reservation do not change the number points. You can apply an SNA or update the "Any special requests or needs?" field under "Choose Room Features" without repricing the number of points.
