Yes, it sucks they can't be used for First Class... but that doesn't make these worthless. Just worth LESS than before...
They are now pretty much worthless for me. This cannot be sugar coated. Besides, they are sugar coating everything with so much "we are so wonderful" that we will all become diabetic, have a limb amputation or two, and then will be disabled enough to pre-board, which will give us a wonderful perk, pre-boarding, no matter where we sit.
