Yes, this is a new concept for me too and I value the input received regarding that both here and on the other thread.
Unfortunately I do not have the required status to re-book without penalty as I only fly a few to maybe 10 times a year. Most of my miles/points are from CC purchases.
I suppose the $150 rebooking fee is still a pretty good value, but I'm going to try and get the Saver Award seats anyways. Thankfully I do have a bit of flexibility in my schedule so that helps.
Thanks again,
