If the same PlusPloints for both flights, then no can do.
If the second is a return flight, second set of PlusPoints, then you can remove the PlusPoints from the first with no fear.
You can remove the PlusPoints if no segment has cleared yourself

If you don't get the offer or don't like it, reapply the PlusPoints
