This has to be true especially AP insists that this was not an error. This is a "special offer" promotion. So they can't ask for more miles when the reward is changed later.

The supervisor whom I talked to when I booked today clearly said that an after- "promo" change would result in a before-"promo" mileage cost.

I took advantage of this "promo" on Friday afternoon before AE was aware they were offering it. 
I was planning on a South Africa trip for January-February 2013 but this deal prompted me to move it forward to October-November 2012.

This "promo" is pretty interesting... is there any consensus on change fees though? I'm thinking of booking it for November 2012, but in reality, I can't travel until early 2013, so I'm thinking of booking, then paying the change fee to change - but I wonder whether that'll imply extra mileage to change. Any consensus on that?

Just booked a couple of biz class tickets to LAX for next Sept. When I spoke with the agent, he said that sched changes would not require new mileage calculation; however, that any voluntary change would... i.e. if you pay for the change, you'll need to cough up the extra miles.
