Starwood points question...

[Charade]

All knowing, all seeing DISers....

If I redeem starwood points and then change my mind, can I get them put back into my account?

I don't know. You might want to ask on the Flyertalk starwood forum.

Yes, you can. If you call Starwood CS and cancel by phone, they will be back in your account almost immediately.

Just make sure you also pay attention to the hotel's cancellation policy, as they do vary.
