Problem getting redemption tickets

I have Asiamiles expiring this year as do my children.
In April I applied for 4 Biz class redemption seats to Joburg for flights in October 2008. No seats I was told.
OK, so how about August then ? No seats available was the same reply.
It seems the only way to get redemption seats is to buy Y and use the asiamiles to upgrade. Has anyone else had similar experiences ? It seems very poor practice to encourage people to earn Asiamiles which are then nigh impossible to exchange for seats.
