Also, is the reinstatement of awards policy still in place?

I can tell you that you can cancel an award and they will reinstate the points.
I just ran into this in Jan. I had redeemed points for (2) milesaver business awards to Europe in Feb 2022. I literally looked every month for destinations all over Europe, and I was never able to find availability. These awards were set to expire Feb 2023. In Jan 2023, I reached out to BE and told them that there was no availability, and they canceled them and gave me the points back. I believe they expire in 2025 now.
