They definitely still have the capability to do it, in that there is not anything in their system that automatically blocks it. (Though that might change on 4/15.)
I booked my daughter's flight only about a week ago and had absolutely no problem using the GPU. She isn't flying until May.
Perhaps there is some internal confusion with regard to the changes and what they are permitted to do. I don't know whether I got lucky and the agent didn't know she wasn't supposed to do it, or if the other poster got someone who mistakenly thought they couldn't.
