This has been discussed before in other threads. The exceptions to the BE fare restrictions do not extend to OW. They are only for AA elites. Some have reported that GA's have permitted OW elites the exemption and that others have not. The exact language appears below.

Also note that unlike other AA domestic tickets, these fares are non-changeable and non-refundable. Other than for involuntary reasons, e.g. flight cancellation, you must fly exactly as ticketed. Before purchasing, I would absolutely consider whether that represents good value.

AAdvantageŽ elite status members and eligible CitiŽ / AAdvantageŽ or AAdvantageŽ AviatorTM MastercardŽ cardmembers are exempt from certain restrictions.**
