90 minutes allows you to cancel and refund if you'd like. (This is from the Contract of Carriage.)
OP hit the jackpot, and should now be able to switch to any flight that day. If an agent declines, politely thank them, hang up, and call again.
Wow, Delta really requires a
60-minute schedule change to let you change flights? I just saw a schedule change of 40 minutes yesterday on a United itinerary and I called and was able to change to other flights because of the difference of 40 minutes...I don't like the "one time" change mentioned above either...if the schedule changes again, I would expect to be able to change it as often as I need to if an airline keeps making changes to my itinerary...
