I think I might have gotten one before (my current paperwork says "the total price for your flight is not available"), but I think the fare is even lower, so when I try to claim it it says something like "this flight is ineligible, blah, blah, please call") - before I call can someone confirm if it is just one reduction per flight (and blah blah means once I got off the page I had no recollection of the rest of the words 
).
I've occasionally gotten "you already have the lowest fare", but this was different.

Yes, there was a schedule change. I had to pick a totally different time/flight number a month or so ago.
Duh, the light just went on. When the schedule change happened, they let me pick whatever flight I wanted, regardless of price. I picked the time I wanted, and yes, the flight was much more expensive than what I originally paid. So while in my mind I'm now comparing prices to my original flight, I guess I can't do that.

Yes, you can. I recently was able to get 4 price reductions in one day on same itinerary. Not sure why price was changing so much, but not complaining! (And happy for having Yapta and TripIt Pro Alerts on different scanning schedules so they both could notify me as price changed)
