Could you explain how you can have an open-jaw with US that isn't on origin or departure?

("Open-jaws" in the middle of your trip, such as on a stopover are land segments, no? US never allowed those, and open-jaw + stopover wasn't part of the rules, either.)

Questions:
Will I need to call the AA desk and if so, will they frown on honoring a stopover (AA awards no longer allow this.)
The ticket was issued with cities en route that - while not the straightest line from Origin to Destination - are likely under MPMs for the routing. Will this be an issue too?

I need FTer suggestions so as to decide whether its worth calling the get this ticket reissued for the revised dates.
What's the change? Date or origin/destination, or stopover?

As this thread is showing, results are variable. (Can't imagine why anyone's surprised, US was always a "box of chocolates".)
