I thought Platinums got priority over the selling of seats??
The agent was simply telling you that they are holding seats away from the R bucket so that people who want to pay for first class can do so. Why would Plats get priority over someone paying to sit in first?
On a related note, both of my upgrades cleared for my Saturday flights at 4 days out.
