Does not say at "discount fares", it does mention a standard fix fare at any time. You have to go to AA site to find what that is.
For discussion of the UA program, see
United (UA) Pass Plus Secure/ Flex -- Benefits, Value, Questions .... [Consolidated]. The UA program offers discounts off of all fares (some refundable -- the biggest discounts, and some non-refundable -- lesser discount)
