...or save me from having to deal with this kind of nonsense...Each to its own.
Update from a call with AA: if it had been AA issued ticket, they would have refunded (no award space for earlier flight). As it is 125-stock, they can't touch it.
Will simply cancel and book revenue ticket with AA directly.
Anyway, mods, please close this thread.
