I called last night and they wouldn't wait list me for a flight (to be fair it is 8th Feb) but want to snag two seats as soon as they become available as only one first seat is available now despite 0/8 bookings.

It would be nice to have a certificate like BA's or once a year when you can confirm upgrade seats (I think from memory they listed this as a benefit when they launched plat but pulled it). The massive difference in gold vs plat is certainly not reflected in the benefits.
Just an update on this z was confirmed for both of us 5 days before the flight after being wait listed. Have the final leg on 8 April to Man but there are only 3 seats left so doubt I'll get hold of two as it looks like a sell out.

On the flip side first savers have made a comeback!
