Are Award Travel Changeable or Refundable?
For tickets purchased normally, there are tons of types of tickets with various rules regarding changes, cancellations and refunds, but what about for award travel. On the AAdvantage site, there seems to be just Economy or Business/First awards, with peak and off-peak versions for each.
What change and refund rules generally apply to award tickets?

Each airline applies different rules to award tickets, so there can be no "generally" answer. You need to visit the website for each specific airline to determine the rules. It is no less complicated than paid tickets.
