I'm Platinum, and my Platinum seat selection benefit did work (i.e. I didn't have to pay). But ... what's up with this "one time only then you can never change it" thing? Is this new?

FWIW, the seats that I selected are fine and I doubt I'd want to change them. But I've never seen this before, and it struck me as odd!
