I was able to do this using a reservation I had made in 2023, so not exactly the same situation, but I think they might treat yours the same way. Plus you get one EQN out of it.
by the terms and faq, you need to deplete it.
If a concierge can override that, great.
but I wouldn’t count on the EQN personally unless your concierge can override and add one after the fact (if not doesn’t credit)
