I got a similar e-mail. As far as I can tell, the only enhancement over the Gold Guarantee is the possibility that it could also extend to Business Class. Here is the e-mail:

As an Emirates Skywards Platinum member your travel flexibility is very important to us. To provide better access to your preferred class of travel, we have enhanced your seat guarantee benefit.

From 15th August 2014, you will no longer have to wait for a flight to be full to book a guaranteed seat. We will now confirm your Business Class or Economy Class seat when the cabin is full.

You will always be guaranteed an Economy Class seat whenever you want to travel, even if you don’t already hold a ticket. Also, we will of course do our very best to confirm a seat in Business Class, but during major holidays and special events this may not be possible on some flights. Whenever we can, we’ll update our website in advance.

Just call our Contact Centre at least 48 hours before your flight and make sure you purchase a full fare ticket. If you’ve booked a ticket that’s not eligible, we can help you upgrade your fare over the phone.
