None at all.
Just bear in mind that availability goes quickly. I booked 5 J award seats to SFO, and got the last date in August.
Looking at availability now, for 2 J seats, there is only availability on 23, 24 Aug, 7,14,21 Sept. And return only on some Mondays and Tuesdays.
If you want dates in September, you had better book quickly.
