Can I book a new reservation then cancel the old one or will duplicate booking logic give me trouble? Should I just call in and ask someone for the mileage back?
I would book (or hold) the new, lower-priced award now -- while it's still available -- and then immediately cancel the old, higher-priced award for a refund.
