Well it's low season in SA, so it's way easier to find awards; less so when I plan to go there...

And sometimes seats are released at the very last minute for upgrades (I'm not sure if it is the same fare bucket on BA) and those crazy enough to check for availability! When they know they can't sell them why not have people burn tons of miles.
