Changing current award (on hold)
I currently have an award ticket booked and ticketed with miles. I want to change the tickets return class of service from coach to business. This will require additional miles (which I currently wont have as they are being transfer into my account on Monday via Marriott transfer). Will United allow me to hold a change without the miles? If the points do not finalize is my current reservation held too?
Many thanks for any help.

never have done this but I doubt UA will let you hold two reservations on the same flight -- so to answer your question, I think this is an all or nothing situation.

I have had 2 different reservations on 2 different flights that ended up overlapping. About a week before departure United called me to resolve the conflict.
YMMV

Sure it is possible to do but as you found out UA will detect it and certainty will not help the OP to do it.
