We're conflating separate issues. First issue: does the fact that a ticket is reissued mean the $125 fee is due? Second issue: Does a change from X to O (or O to X) fall within the meaning of "ticketed points change" and hence trigger the $125 fee? On the first issue, my recollection of the discussion is that if a reissue is being done for a simple change, let's say the airline code is changed on the exact same flight already ticketed, then the $125 fee is not supposed to be triggered. Some agents and perhaps some airlines interpret the rules differently and charge $125 but others do not.
