Long ago, you could phone an airline when a fare dropped and, in the case of a nonrefundable ticket, they'd cut you a voucher for the difference. (This implies that United actually matched the AA DFW-SFO fare and that fare was now available on your exact itin. The mere presence of it on some AA flights wouldn't generate a UA voucher.)
However, I don't believe any of the U.S. legacies do this anymore. They'd all want to reticket the itin, meaning you'd need a fare drop greater than your change fee to yield any kind of residual voucher.
I don't even know it exists anymore as a top-tier perk (free refares...).
