Econmy plus upgrade?
If I buy an economy ticket (B N H V U K Q class) can I use Matmid points to upgrade to economy plus class before the flight to guarantee my seat or do I have to wait to see if I am selected and only then can I use my points to upgrade?

Thanks!

Is it working as an upgrade system? I thought the whole point was it would be seats within the Y cabin, a la UA E+ style..

If you are GL or higher you can assign the seat. I guess it's the same if you fly in class Y/S/M.
If you are not, you can ask for seat but only at boarding you will know if you got the seat.
