If you need the miles from indirect to book the direct then cancel with the agent on the line (so you can pay the fee right away) and get the agent to give you a new 24h payment link for the direct. Hopefully the miles are redeposited within the 24h.
Thanks. So basically, there is no "changing" the booking. You need to cancel and then book new (not necessarily in that order).

This helps. Thanks.
