I spent a few minutes trying to pull that up, but I couldn't find the right search terms. I didn't recall that it was a Distinction exclusive.
It's an interesting idea when the FFP is not part of the airline, or when normal circumstances only permit booking in X and I class.
But given they can already truthfully market "book any seat with points", I don't see why they'd want to have a flight they'd sell for $500 worth of points, but not $500.
