New BP printed at gate, no seat change
This is a new one for me - tried to search, but didn't find an exact match.
I have had a reservation in the system for some months. My seat is and always was 7A. 7A at booking, 7A at check in, 7A on the BP, 7A on the version in my Apple Wallet. No plane change, always an A320.
Get to the gate at ORD today, and when the agent scans my BP the machine goes BEEP BEEP BEEP and spits out a BP. She hands it to my saying "your new seat is 7A."
It didn't seem to be happening to anyone else, just me.

I always wondered about that. Hit refresh on your app when looking at the boarding pass & the bar code changes every time.

I've lost TSA Pre when the bar code changed for some reason just one time. However, I allllways do a screen shot of the boarding pass and that's what I used to go through security. And it worked.
