I also hesitate to mess with an IAP booking unless absolutely necessary.
That was my thinking too, particularly on the messing with an IAP booking. I have found that to mostly be the case with any type of Amex booking. Their products such as FHR, IAP are great, but seem to work much better when you know that you will not be needing to change/cancel or otherwise work with the reservation afterwards.
