you can book a available date and then call the airline to change the date
And then get charged for the ticket. Not a great idea..

That Amex knows what you did and has the right to charge you for the ticket.

do you know of any reports that its an issue to change, seems from FT that the only issue is potentially paying a change fee to the airline.

There are enough reports of "reversals" to make it a serious concern.

I can assure you I'm not just making it up.

A misplaced use of the Fight Club mantra if I've ever heard one.

Doesn't have to be reported, and if your ready to pay that one time 10K for the ticket that Amex paid for then feel free to do that.

This sounds extremely expensive for Amex, any chance they're getting a significant break on AA/UA rev?
They are booking it through their own travel portal, so they are definitely getting something for it (although it's probably not much compared to their value of MR and the ticket price).

Nah.. Some local agents have good contracts and get like 16%. Im sure Amex has at least as good contracts or better. Still does not offset the lose.
