I agree, before departure rule 16(a)1.b not 16(a)2.b would apply. Compare the two:
PRIOR: "CHANGES TO TICKETED POINTS ARE PERMITTED AT A CHARGE OF USD 125.00 PER TRANSACTION. IF THE FARE LEVEL HAS INCREASED SINCE TICKET ISSUANCE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE OLD AND NEW FARE WILL ALSO BE CHARGED. IF THE FARE LEVEL HAS DECREASED SINCE TICKET ISSUANCE NO REFUND WILL APPLY.
FEE WAIVED FOR CHANGE OF FLIGHT WHERE NO CHANGE TO TICKETED POINTS OCCURS"
AFTER "
CHANGES TO TICKETED POINTS PERMITTED AT A CHARGE OF USD125.00 PER TRANSACTION." and no mention of re-pricing.
However, looking at fare rules from expertflyer (RJ) there is this: "C. IF THE REROUTING RESULTS IN A CHANGE TO THE TOTAL TICKETED MILES THE TICKET SHALL BERECALCULATED.
TICKET MAY BE REISSUED TO ANY APPLICABLE EXPLORER FARE VALIDATING ALL RULES OF THE NEW FARE EXCEPT FOR RESTRICTIONS ON RETROACTIVE USE. REROUTING FEE APPLIES WHEN THE RESULTING FARE IS LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO THE ORIGINAL
FARE. NO REFUND APPLIES. SEE UPGRADING PROVISIONS WHEN RECALCULATION RESULTS IN A NEW FARE BASIS AT A HIGHER VALUE."
So basically this C point negates the no re-pricing if routes are changed as presumably the number of miles would change. These are the provisions I retrieved from Expertflyer using RJ CAI-CAi DONE3 for ticket on 3/18/24
It is important to have the rules as for my second DONE3 issued by BA, they are resistant to change the dates unlike QF due to lack of specialized department to deal with these tickets. I tested the waters a while back with a date change of one flight before the travel and they came back at first, no fee, then some bull* phone fee which they "waived" for Gold members, and I am concerned to preserve my right of free date changes as the flights will go into 2025.
