If I was to book these 5 tickets but have no plans to travel on those dates is it possible to make free changes to travel August next year (where currently I cannot see availability)??

Essentially seeing if this is a hack to enable travelling on the dates I want even though 5 classic reward tickets are not available.

This isn’t a strategy. Booking 5 tickets you found nine months earlier than you wish to travel has no advantage.

In fact, you’ll pay quite expensive taxes now rather than later.

Just because you secure five tickets in November doesn’t guarantee you tickets next August.
