$75 fee:

-21+ days prior to departure is based on the departing city time zone, not the booking city time zone.

EDIT: I managed to call in and have them waive the fee when it was within 21 days in departing city time zone but not by booking city time zone

UPDATE: AA has removed all close-in fees

if I book 21 days out and then change to a within 21 day time period will this do the trick to avoid the close in fee?

How does Alaska have award availability on AA that AA isn't showing available  for Saver?
ETA: I cant even duplicate the same itinerary on AA for miles or cash.

is JFK-YVR on CX, then YVR-LAX on AS/AA a legal routing on one ticket in terms of AAdvantage rules and FAA regulations?

I don't think so on one ticket. I don't think you can connect US-US in Canada.

Did AA just hire a bunch of Amex reps?
These reps are getting dumber and dumber by the day! Absolutely insane!

Horrible.
If only they hired the dumb reps when US still priced awards manually. Did their overseas call centers also hire dumb reps? Seems the AU call center hasn't changed much.

Could be worse – they could've hired former BA reps.

So true!

BTW I was finally able to get the AMM-AUH in Y with AUH-SYD priced properly via an american rep - thanks again for the recommendation.

On a separate note -  I have AMM- SYD currently as an award- I plan on booking an australia to nz flight, nz to ppt, and ppt back to the states as well, all probably on AA partners. I'm not 100% sure of the dates or routing of the middle flights - is there an advantage of booking this all under one award (is that even possible?) as a bunch of separate legs? Would that allow me to change the routing of the middle legs without change fees, or am I no better off than just booking as separate itineraries?

Total trip will probably be something like:
AMM-AUH-SYD EY
SYD-CNS QF
CNS-SYD-CHC QF
AKL-PPT TN
PPT-LAX TN
