I'd say it actually feels extra nice doing it with leisure travel only, I'm doing so on my way to platsku now.
I've had no issues using my voucher & points on SIN, from PE to J. One lesson I've learned is to give CS a ring even if you get denied at T37, I've managed to get myself waitlisted again and upgraded a few times now. It's stupid policywise, but hey, if it works it's better to exploit it.
Or ask at check-in.. I've found that CS / Plat WhatsApp tends to say they cannot do anything but check-in staff can.. I guess if there are one or two seats left, they hold out hope at t-37 of selling them but give up around check-in time.
