Changing flights after using pay with miles

[SpanishForker]

I might need to change my upcoming flights to MCO due to a work issue. I bough our flights on Delta using the new pay with miles feature which took 100$ off each flight. The orginal price was 370$ so I paid 270$. The new flights I would need to change to are also 370$. I was wondering if anyone had any experiance with doing this type of change. I understand I would have to pay the change fee, but did not want to also have to pay 100$ more for the price difference as well since I am sure my miles would not magically reappear either. I hope I have explained this well.

Any help would be appreciated!!!
Thanks!

You should only have to pay the change fee. Delta will consider the whole amount paid ($370) regardless of the method. (Miles vs cash)

However, depending on when you booked this the change fee can be $150! (YIKES!)

Yeah we would be in the $100 change fee catagory, but still painful. If work calls it is better to pay the fee then be on the outside at work. I called Delta and they said what you said that we should get credit for the original fare despite that fact I used miles to bring the price down. One thing I did not ask about is the fact the new flights will actually be $10 cheaper than my original ones. Can I use that extra credit towards the change fees?
