American Airlines Reward Ticket Change Time Limit

[Daniel]

I booked a ticket on AA to fly on ELAL. I can't fly now. How long do I have to use the ticket? From what date is it calculated- the booking date or the departure date?

1 year

Thanks. I'm wondering if there is some sort of trick like keep changing the departure date to be further out. I wonder if they will limit the new departure date to 1 year from date of issuance.

I'm not saying it can't be done, but those are the official rules.

Anyone have experience trying this?
