AS 60 Day rule applies to VX fares
Just found out today that AS 60 day rule applies to VX fares booked on AS site.
If date of travel is beyond 60 days, you can change or cancel ticket without fee.
If you change and fare is different, you must pay the difference. (or get credit to Wallet, if lower)
This Allows some "wiggle" room for flights booked in the fall or holidays.
I just write reminders to check before 60 days expires to make sure I still want to keep that flight.
It is printed under the fare rules after booking. It will say , "this is a non-refundable fare". Then list date you can still makes changes, if needed.

1. Did you find out in a conversation with AS reservations?
2. What about within 60 days for MVP Gold 75k? Full credit to wallet?

Posted question directly to AS employee who is helping to answer questions on FT regarding the AS / VX merger.

Third thread down........Sticky: Questions to Missy - Post #423
This is a good place for information about changing policies from AS and VX operations. (i.e.: AS Visa companion code can now be used on VX flights)
She answered my question directly.
Since I am not gold or 75, do not have direct experience with this.

VX fares are not bookable on the AS Site. They are actually AS fares, thus AS rules apply for tickets on AS Stock. Now if you book through VX site it does not apply. It even applied to AS ticketed AA/DL operated were eligible for free changes. Although if you have the right CC, VX purchased flights also don't have a change fee.
