I'm ashamed to admit I did just this, but in a different context. (train)
I saw the "free changes" in big, bold letters. So I booked the cheapest train and then tried to change to the actual train I wanted, only to find out that I had to pay the fare difference. No ultimate harm, other than to my pride, since I ended up paying what I always was going to have to pay...
If you don't read all of the fine print, you are just giving
at best an interest-free loan to the airline / train company...
