I did not realize the partner booking fee was per direction, but I just checked and it is per direction on a new booking. You get a free change within 24 hours so there should have been no extra $12.50 fee for a change within 24 hours. Did you wait beyond 24 hours to make the change? I am with you though, I would still be happy with paying the extra $12.50*2 fees to lock in the award.
