So it looks like you were spot on with the 60 Days!

Is this a new "benefit" or have i just not noticed this before? Wonder if they are trying to encourage the burning of Avios through the Pay With scheme on main site.
Wow that is a big devaluation in the flexibility and use of avios so!! That was certainly not the case before. Typically I suppose they have removed an option where customers could usually obtain good value from their Avios in booking flights on short notice. I mean last minute was always blocked somewhat understandably (I think 48hours??) but nearly 2 months is a joke.
