I imagine there are the same number of people going for the reward tickets so on popular routes (which I imagine Vegas is), the seats will still go quickly.
You're not up to date. The increase was actually to 4 from 2, not 6 - I wish. Additionally there was availability offered at 355 days in WTP. But this extra availability is for the old style vouchers (issued before September) AND the new ones. The new ones specifically mentioned that the cheaper (I class) revenue buckets would become available, in some cases, for rewards.
