Any advice as to what to say, hugely appreciated.
History and experience suggest that they will not make this change outside of the normal nomination process.
However, as suggested above, if your current companion's status expires in some way, you may be able to then nominate a new companion.
As stated in the Million Miler rules:

"Companion benefits are available on an annual, not lifetime, basis. Companion benefits expire upon the death of the Million Miler or failure of the companion to meet the eligibility requirements set forth below, including, but not limited to, death, divorce or separation."

It is my guess that they will only honor the normal nomination process even if eligibility of the current companion expires, but that is only a guess.
