I was under the impression that my request was business as usual. I didn't even have to ask for the fee to be waived - the agent acted as if it didn't apply in this case. Now I'm curious if I got away with something here.

Not exactly. It is different for domestic and international. Domestic tickets DO NOT, or more specifically should not, have ASC assessed when only changing to a higher fare class. Sometimes agents don't understand this. International tickets usually do but I suppose it could vary depending upon the rule of the ticket.
