What you are referring to is specifically mentioned in policy for changing flights, not cancelling and rebooking. Cancelling forfeits all EB.

If I have EarlyBird Check-In and choose to change my flight, will the EarlyBird Check-In transfer as well? EarlyBird Check-In can be transferred only if the new flight departs more than 25 hours from the time of the change. If the new flight departs in less than 25 hours, then you will lose your non-refundable EarlyBird Check-In purchase. Additionally, if the change to your reservation involves a new city pair(s), you will need to contact us to have the EarlyBird Check-In transferred.
Additionally, here's the policy regarding cancelling:
Is EarlyBird Check-In refundable?
EarlyBird Check-In purchases are non-refundable. Customers who cancel their flight will forfeit the previously purchased EarlyBird Check-In option for that particular flight.

Thanks to all for your comments. I actually just kept checking daily on the flight totals, and in the last week, it has decreased twice! It now is at it's lowest price for four passengers on the same ticket.
I will keep checking, but I am happy with this point total. More points back for more future flights!
