I do not frankly see why this is ambiguous. If you change a date or time, no charge. If you change something other than a date or time, charge. It doesnt matter what AA calls the change or whether they have to reissue it. Read the rules. The rules do not say that a reissue costs $75. The rules say that if you make a change other than a date or time then you must pay $75 and if you make a change other than a date or time then the ticket must be reissued. If AA wants to waste their time reissuing tickets at their whim then they have every right to. But the only time that they have the right to charge $75 is if, and only if, you make a change to the ticket OTHER than a date or time.
