Sweet, crossing my fingers that its offered (12 hour flight in coach ugh), and that a nice clueless phone agent after the flight gets me the bonus miles ;P

AMS-CPH €159.
I used the Android app to check. Instead of showing the EB rows separately, these were now displayed in one map along with the first Y rows. When I selected one of the EB seats to check the price and then pressed cancel, I was taken directly to the proceed to payment page, which had no cancel or back option. Using the cell phone's back button worked, but my seat then still showed as EB. I had to restart the app to see my original seat again.

I'm at the Crown Lounge in Lounge 3 now enjoying a champagne (ST Gold anyway) but may as well top up before the flight...

Im doing my first KLM flight in 2 weeks, and so i dont know the bucket codes for them that well, ExpertFlyer shows it at Y9B9, but rest 0ed out. Am i correct in reading that as WBC is full but there are still coach seats open?

I think "Y" and "B" are full(ish) price economy buckets, so there are plenty (at least 9) of empty seats in economy. Are you sure there are no "Z," "C," or "I" fares shown? Maybe you just asked for availability for eco? If, indeed, it shows (say) "C0I0Z0", then WBC is full.
