Just got off the phone with the Executive Platinum desk and they confirmed also that the I2R Business Class fare from JFK to London is upgradeable to First with VIPs and earns the 25% Business Class bonus. Changes to the outbound flight are $250.00.
There is no seasonality, meaning you can apparently book this up to 330 days out. But the fare is scheduled to be pulled on October 23, 2003, so all bookings must be made by then.
