This is so disappointing and so frustrating. I'll wait for a few hours, then open a case. Funny how I never had fewer points deducted than were due.

I am not denying that you are experiencing this, but I change my points reservations all the time and always see my points total change in accordance immediately - now, the activity line items don’t show up for at least a few more hours, but the point total for my account always reflects the change immediately.
