Can you suggest any workaround? Suppose I don't care which of these rules I read, on the view that maybe all the fares with the same name have the same (or substantially the same) rules. That might be wrong, of course, but it's a good place to start as I try to see whether these fares would work for me.
The differences are usually flight routing specific, so no there isn't a work around as we don't price specific itineraries of flights so we can't ask for a rule display from a quoted fare. We've seen this with other airlines for years, but it appears AA has started doing this recently as well.
