Canceling award reservation after cancellation deadline
I have a reservation using points that says cancel 7 days before check in date to avoid penalty.
it is less than 7 days now and considering changing my travel plans.
there is an option to modify reservation. I didn’t go through the steps but is it possible to change the date to next month and assuming it will give me a new cancellation deadline, cancel next day? I don’t want to go through this change process if this is going to mess up.

Changing dates is your best bet.
Attempting to cancel could result in a substantial $$ charge for the first night (and your points refunded)
