Change flight but points are lower

I used my points say 21,000 points to buy tickets and then I wanted to change them to tickets which cost only 16,000 points.   Will I get the remaining 5,000 points back to my account or will it be saved for future booking (with new or old expiration date?  )  ?

Hi 

 

The points go back into your account like you never used them.

I thought points that are already used for booking will expire in 1 year ?

No. They are returned to your account.
