If you have sufficient miles in your account currently, book the lower-priced option now, and immediately cancel the original booking. Your miles and cash paid on the original booking will be refunded.

If you do not currently have sufficient miles to purchase the cheaper award, put that award on a complimentary hold, and then immediately cancel the first booking. Once your miles are refunded, you can then complete the purchase of the held award.

Act quickly, while the cheaper award is still available.
