I looked in the Ultimate Guide and (apart from J) they are all listed as Discount Club.

Can anyone help me understand why I class bookings would not be included in this promotion?

I'm not terribnly worried as I have a gazilllion air miles already.... it would be nice to have more, though... I can always use them.

Cheers....
Would those vouchers/miles be worth more than the ~400 USD fare difference?
