But, to my surprise, after reading the email confirmation, I was also charged a $75 award processing fee, which the agent did not inform me of.

Is this normal? She said my ticket was re-issued, but I thought that was standard procedure. I'm thinking I should not have been charged the additional $75. I browsed the AA website and could not find conclusive information. Any help would be appreciated!
It is so normal that yours is the second thread in less than a week about exactly the same thing:
