I have an award (PER-BKK-FRA) booked as refundable (ie paid the extra points) - if I want to change this to just BKK-FRA or SIN-BKK-FRA I know can only do this by calling AC, but since it would be fewer points I presume I would get the difference refunded but could I also change it to non-refundable and get those points back as well?

Now the reason for this change is that I'm actually would be starting in SYD so I would need to buy the SYD-PER sector but I can almost fly to SIN or BKK from SYD for not much more than SYD-PER (in J). At present for my dates (end of May) there are no award seats to PER (for 2 persons) and/or SIN or BKK.
