So no problems for award bookings from my experience (I am a Blue)
Did the OP ask for seat allocations when he booked ?
All FIRST pax can pre-assign seats.
I'm surprised about CW/CE award tickets though, I think the agent's wrong there. AFAIK only if flexible (J or C, not D nor I) or Gold or Silver.
