The usual answer if to remove your freq flyer number from the reservation, save and then put back your freq freq flyer number. This refreshes the reservation.
Thanks Mwenenzi for your reply. I booked immediately after getting my new status email. I have already tried re-entering my freq flyer number without any luck. With regards to seat selection, I was able to solve this by calling BA and they selected my seats for me; I even got the chance to select emergency exit seats on a transatlantic flight, something I don't think is a Sapphire privilege.
