I think we are getting a bit confused here.
Gold allows additional redemption seats in Y only at anytime by opening up additional fare class letters (if availalble) for redemption bookings. This does not apply to WTP, Club or F.
Golds can do a double miles cost redemptions.
GGL has a joker that allows redemption at normal mileage when no redemption seats are available once a year.
These benefits apply to all cabins no just Y.
