I've had very good luck on the voucher front with JL in the past (e.g. deliberately booking a pm flight from Shanghai so I don't have to get up at 6a), and I've been told no by the China people only to be told "no problem" by the Narita people, but this time around, the China people have put an abnormal amount of conviction into their "no" responses. Basically, it's an award ticket, and they don't seem to care much about my BA Gold status (I don't think they can even see this in my reservation). The good news is that those NRT hotels are surprisingly cheap, so my plan is to put one on hold as a backup.
