The buttons for change and cancel are still available on the reservation pages, but when I click it gives me a "This reservation is not eligible for online changes. Please call us at ..." message. I reviewed the details of the offer page, and I can't see any text that changes are not allowed -- maybe I've been flagged as a frequent user of the feature

I may be testing it again in a few days. Still holding out for another offer.

$55 to change EWR SFO. If I wasn't doing two back-to-backs, I'd take it.

Called in today to cancel the 2nd reservation that I had taken an offer on that was getting an error as ineligible for any online changes ... The agent typed a way for a few minutes and had to escalate to a specialist -- after another few minutes she was back and said that it required some kind of additional processing because of the 'schedule change' -- no other detail, curious if anyone else has seen this for reservations with changes.

I’m pretty sure David posted a comment in the wrong/this thread, realized his mistake, and came back to edit.

I might’ve too and that’s probably the highest one of these I’ve heard of.

Highest one I've ever seen, usually its $25-35. Have to wait until the 21st to see if certificate actually works since that is the date of issue and it doesnt come up as valid when I try to redeem it before then.

Well just got one to change another SAN-SFO flight by 6-7 hours for $165. Too bad my schedule doesnt allow for that because it would make the flight free.

I wonder how AS calculates how "cheap" we are supposed to be! or is it based on how badly they need it? I'm impressed some people are getting $165 for 1h30 change or so... all I received is a miserable $25 to change my transcon from decent time to either redeye or 2 days earlier - no thanks! Interestingly, the flights offered are all the same actual airport, not city co-terminals (ie to JFK which AS flies too). Also, my flight still shows at a relatively decent price (same as the only one offered to change to on the same day) and still shows 33 seats opened in Y, 9 in PC (where AS agent kindly confirmed me when I booked) and 1 in F though I'm not an experienced AS flyer so no idea if many people might be without seats assigned given basic fares and the likes.

Unlike most of you, I don't have AS status per se (OWE through BA) so I hope that my confirmed PC window and I are safe from being bumped off (or down) when flight time comes in a few days!
