If the pass holder decides to ignore a case of I > 0, they will still have a bit of an advantage in that they can upgrade from the usually larger J inventory, but only 24 hours before the flight. (And they get the 50% COS bonus too, of course.)

But to answer your question, no, I've never seen I > J or C.

A Prestige passenger can also upgrade at the time of purchase (subject to avilability) a Latitude fare ticket, using a SWU.
