Perhaps you can try this method which my uncle does for KF (he's a Solitaire), call KF center once you have available dates, put a hold / reservation on the ticket then only do the TP transfer from MBB to KF. I was surprised at the duration he was able to hold the ticket. For eg, flight depart in 2nd May 2017, the agent put a hold on the ticket for him till end Mar 2017. By then, he needs to have the points and payment to confirm the ticket.
This way, you keep your TP in MBB acc and only transfer when required.
I didn't know they can "hold" a booking...but i presume calling the call centre will mean no 15% discount?...

by the way, did i mentioned that you can do date change for award redemption? it's an awesome feature. There's a small fee, but this flexibility gives more peace of mind for bookings so far in advance. This applicable for F and J class. For economy, you may be required to top up the miles (if redeemed using the lowest class ticket).
That would also be dependent on whether seats are available on the flights you want to change to...ie easily available....if the dates you want are already wait listed, then booking on any available date and changing will not help...
