thought I had read something here that indicated it was the former. Thanks!
To the best of my knowledge.
As you have not started travel yet - you can not alter the ticket. Only way is to cancel the ticket and buy a new one. Cancellation fee is US$ 100 - basically the same as reticketing fee - so no loss or gain there.
You can only change the ticket after the first coupon is used - in some cases now after the first intercontinental leg of the ticket (depending on where you buy it).
If you change mileage after start - the fare difference will be based on the fares applicable at time of purchase of the original ticket. However you will not receive a refund if the mileage will be a lesser distance.
