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.

This is a complaint of almost every frequent flyer program out there.

By the way it's not any easier to get J seats via upgrade from Y.
