However, all of this is detailed in the fare rules of each and every fare, and I'm just listing the most common tag for this situation. Further complications involving downline segments will also muddle things if this is not simply a one-way or the last segment of a longer journey.
Changing the first coupon often (not always) triggers a re-price, because you may be tied to the current advance purchase restrictions. As you point out, the full fare rules govern whether or not this is true.

STALK is AC terminology. It's likely to confuse people on the UA board.
