any limit to the number of times I can change a refundable ticket?
I know this might sound like a silly question, but I'm just wondering if anyone knows if there's any limit to the number of times I can makes changes to a fully refundable ticket (C fare basis). There's no mention of it in the fare rules, but I just wanted to make sure that I'm not missing anything. Also, is a new ticket issued if I make changes?
Thanks in advance!

I don't think so. I have made many (many) changes on an award ticket before without any hassle.
I cannot see why you would have trouble making 10 or 100 changes on a full-fare C ticket.

I do NOT have expierence in this (so take it with a grain of salt). But it seems you should be able to change the ticket unlimited times as long as each time it gets changed to a fully refundable/changable ticket (ie you don't refare to a restricted fare basis).

Fully refundable ticket is fully refundable as long as you continue exchange to a fully refundable fare!

Think you can change it as much as you want. However, check the fare rules to see if there is a limit on when you have to return by. Not sure for full Y fares, but i know at least some fare classes, you have to return within a year of the original departure date.

As long as the fare bucket you purchassed is available then there is no limit.
Example if you buy an E fare there has to be an E fare on the new flight or there will be a fare difference.
