We have some friends who are using our points for a WDW trip in October. We used 15 banked AKV points when booking their room. I'm a little nervous that they may have to cancel. Would I be able to call MS and reallocate our points so that we use 15 current AKV points for their trip (thus allowing us to bank the points and extend the dates they can use them) and we put the 15 banked AKV points toward our HHI trip in October. The HHI trip uses 45 banked HHI points so we are ok with adding 15 banked AKV points toward it. If we have to cancel, we will definitely book a trip in the spring before those points expire.
 
The problem you have is that both sets of points you want to change are already in reservations. MS can switch unused points with other points that are already in a reservation but cannot move points from one reservation to another without first cancelling all or part of the reservation needed to remove the points you want to move to another reservaition.

Thus, you wouild need to cancel all or part of one the reservations to remove points you want to move to the other reservation, then have points exchanged in the second reservation, and then attempt to recover the days lost due to the cancellation relating to the first reservation. During the time of completing that process, the reservation time lost by the initial cancellation could fil via any other members making reservations.

If you actually are going to try, the likely route would be to have MS first cancel part of the HHI rerservation (assuming HHI is being shown as being separately open in the system for the time you will want to recapture after redoing the AKV reservation), and then switch points to the AKV reservation, because the HHI reservation likely has a somewhat higher chance of still being open when you go to return it to its original length, but even doing that has a significant chance of failure when you are only 6 months out.
