Just yesterday I phoned my issuing carrier (BA) to change my MAO-MIA flight from JJ to AA. They tried to charge me the USD125 change fee, but I pointed out that the ticketed points were not changing - so they backed down. There was no service fee either.
(It was when I pulled up the rule sheet during this, that I noticed the change in wording that I posted above)
Edited to add: I have just now noticed that BA actually did reticket all my remaining flights on the DONE5 - just for the simple change of carrier on one segment! (the change was from the JJ-marketed flight number, to the AA-codeshare flight number on the same flight. Did it because (a) the on-line tool would not let me select the AA Codeshare flight, and (b) having status with AA, I get the 100% bonus miles on the AA flight number but not on the JJ flight number)
