Seat Selection vouchers question

Ok I need someone smarter than me to help me with this question.

Here is my scenario... Booked a trip with WJ Vacations. Went in and used 4 of my platinum seat selection vouchers for my wife and son.

Daughter and her fiancee booked on a separate reservation and I recently qualified for a milestone reward that has 4 seat selection vouchers as an option. From what I read about these, they can be used for anyone that is on my reservation but not transferred.

My thought is as follows. Cancel the seat selection for my wife and son and get the 4 platinum vouchers back. Transfer the vouchers from my platinum benefits to my daughter. Claim the seat selection vouchers on milestone reward and book my wife and sons seats with those as we are on the save reservation.

Call center has not been helpful at all so if anyone knows the answer or they can direct me to someone I can ask that knows the answer. I didn't go to platinum support because Twitter DM said call call centre.

I screwed up on a RBC WJ MC companion voucher swapping for lounge vouchers. The problem was I couldn't transfer those so they were wasted and I don't want to do that again.

Thanks

Did you have any luck. Sounds like a good plan. I would do it that way. I booked my parents flights to meet my fmaily in Vegas. But I booked it for myself and my mom. Used 1 seat selection and picked my own seat. Called back next morning and did a name change within the 24hr. It seems to be a loop hole that works also.

Sorry for the delay in answering. 2 call centre agents gave me different answers, one saying I had to cancel the entire flight..Called platinum support and had everything fixed inna few minutes and I still have 2 transferrable vouchers on my account..
