As for the advance purchase issue - that never worked anyway. They are just codifying it. That is, the charge always had to come from the hotel and advance purchase didn't (at least that's what the bloggers are reporting).
AA gift cards haven't been coded to be credited since, if I recall, February 2019. See the thread in the Amex forum.
Advance purchase rates outside of the U.S. have worked fine but apparently won't after July. The problem was with advance purchase reservations in the U.S, because they were processed through a central billing system, not by the individual hotels. I wonder what happens to the semi-flex rates where you have up to 3 days before arrival to cancel?
