Do I pay and request a chargeback? Call and hope someone competent answers?

On that final payment page it also tells me my fare rules for the original flight which includes "Free changes on the day of departure provided changes are for same date/cabin/route/airport"

What a joke.
Just call up, assuming you are eligible for SDC. Sometimes the IT falls over.
