Agent at the club said "let me check something" did some typing and confirmed me on the flight (in M, with no fare difference collected). He said "we can do it because it's less than 100 miles". This wasn't a co-terminal SDC since I got rebooked into M instead of Q.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I'll take it
Gate and SC agents can always work much more same-day magic than normal phone or app. Maybe the flight you were originally on was oversold or delayed or any number of things.
