Waiver of change fee for Gold (and now 75K) has been around for at least a decade.
I believe the partner booking fee applies and is non-refundable in event of cancellation, regardless of status (though I could be wrong or you could have an agent refund it for you against policy). It's only $12.50 each way tho, so if you don't get it back, you're not out that much in the grand scheme of things. Also I think a "change" in itinerary could carry it over (i.e., re-routing w/ a different carrier) so depending on what you're trying to do with a reservation, you may not be completely out the $12.50.
