Sorry, no I have a MP reward ticket. I waitlisted for another flight but it's a different routing. Original MCO-Den-HNL waitlist route MCO-LAX-HNL. So, if I clear that waitlist and decide to take that flight I pay $100 per ticket to redeposit my miles. There was an extensive thread which I can't find explaining how you could avoid this. If I remember right the major points were:
-If there is a time change on a MP ticket you can have your miles redeposited no fee.
-If you would like to avoid this penalty if you have to change your award ticket to a different routing and there is a time change you can have your miles redeposited and take the new route.

I think I am supposed tobook the new route and pay the miles...then have my other ticket cancelled and miles redeposited. I'm just wondering if there's a possiblity that there won't be seats on another segment of a 2 segment route.
Example MCO-Den-HNL changed from MCO-LAX-HNL


I guess the bottom line is if I need to change my award routing because I want to come home one day later is there a way to get around paying that $100 a ticket redeposit fee.
I hope this makes sense now. I'm new to all this thanks for your help.
