Call. You should always get a written confirmation, via email, for any hotel reservation showing the terms.

Jibi, did this work for you?? I have 2 award nights that expire at the end of April. I went online and booked them one at a time and was able to book dates in September...however...after booking, it said something about these award nights will not show in reservations, and I didn't get an email confirmation. I have a bad feeling that when I show up to the hotel, they will not honor the booking and charge me full price.

I just recently did this. Had one free night left over from the old credit card bonus which I was unable to use. After it expired, I called and they credited me 20k points. My understanding is that you have to wait until after they have expired. Also, I have read that it's not guaranteed that they will do this, so there might be a bit of a risk. But it worked in my case.

I think it's a pretty fair deal actually. It's a reasonable amount points given as a courtesy to those who don't use the night within the stated time.
