This is NOT true if you reserve and call the web support desk (800.300.1547) to make the desired changes. You can then either have them process the purchase or use the web site to purchase the held reservation. If you do either of these, you will still get 100% EQM for an online purchase. You will not, however, if you call either the main reservation number or the elite line to process your purchase.
