IS THIS A CHANGE TO CLUB RULES ON CHANGES TO RESERVATIONS?

[Tamaradarann]

Has there been a change to the rules for the Changes to Reservation? I just copied the following from the Club Rules and italicized the section on changes that DECREASE the number of club points.

Changes. All Home Resort, By Hilton Club Priority exchange and Club reservations using ClubPoints at Hilton Grand Vacations Club affiliated resorts may be changed without incurring additional transaction fees provided travel is completed during the same calendar year (not applicable to reservations using Bonus Points). If the reservation change uses the same or a greater number of ClubPoints required for the stay, the change may be made up to one (1) day prior to check-in. If the reservation change decreases the number of ClubPoints required for the stay, the change may be made without penalty up to 31 days in advance of the check-in date. Within 30 days prior to arrival, no changes can be made and the standard cancellation policy applies.

Not a change... The 2016 Rule on the subject was identical.
-- 2016 Club Reference -- https://tinyurl.com/mxqk4z5

The work-around since time began has been:
(1) Change the booking to more than 30 days out (w/o decreasing).
(2) Then, in a separate move, change to what you really want.

You must be willing to risk losing the dates you change from and have enuff time left in the year to make that change.

The 2015 and 2014 Club Rules are also identical.

Thank you both for your responses. I knew that the method existed, however, the last line kind of threw me off!
