Can I apply the BRP rate to an existing reservation?

[travelbug]

Still trying to figure out the ins and outs of the BRP. I have an existing ressie for 2 nights at ASMo, and have paid one night as a deposit. I just went on the AP website to check out the BRP for those 2 nights. Looks like I could save $40 per night.

So is it possible to apply the BRP to my existing reservation, since I've already paid more than enough up front? Or do I need to book the BRP online, and then cancel my existing reservation? I do understand that the one night deposit would be nonrefundable under the BRP rules.

Anyone know the answer? Thanks very much!

I'm pretty sure you have to book the Best Rate Plan then cancel your existing reservation. Your deposit would be credited back to you, and you'd pay the one night (non-ref.) for the Best Rate Plan rate.
I don't think you can just "transfer" the reservation.

Hope this help
