I think they are one of the best parts of the whole Business Extraa program.
My most frequent routes are DCA-LAX (which I typically find is sold out in first well in advance and you can forget about upgrades by any means - I just try to buy I fares ~3-6 months out), DCA-MIA (which is my ideal for using the BXP1s but lately I have not been finding any availability and I find the I fares are often equivalent to DCA-LAX, which is crazy to me), and DCA-LGA and BOS. I was recently able to use two to MCO, but otherwise I seem to have a hard time finding space. I do have an JFK-SFO purchased in I for next summer where I will probably try to use these to get into A class.
