It delivers the benefit of redeeming full Avios and TPs from the new booking class (albeit at lowest booking) too.

Why does BA do this? Not that I'm complaining. Just wondering how rare it is.
I've received three op-up's in my life (including one last night). One W to J, I found out at check-in. One J to F I found out on the app en route to the airport. Last night I saw the seat change from J to F in the lounge and got the beep at the gate.
