swapping free night to points
Hi everyone,
I was wondering if it's possible to switch a booking from a free night award to points. I initially booked a hotel using a free night certificate, but now I'd like to change it to a points booking so I can apply a suite upgrade.
However, there’s currently no points availability for that night. I spoke with an agent who said the change isn’t possible unless the night becomes available again for points.
I’m a Globalist and would really appreciate being able to use a suite upgrade for this stay. Has anyone had success with this kind of change before—either by calling the Globalist line or waiting for points availability to open up?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
