There is no published rule about usage of O, I, X buckets. This is just what we know as experienced flyers. So even with O2 and I4 they may tell you on the phone with a smile in their voice: "So sorry, but no availability". if you argue about test booking on LH.com or ANA tool they can simply say, "Sorry, but WE have nothing free here". Very easy and caused by a simple entry on your profile, e.g. "NOTE: client --> worldshop / cashback only".

Okay, finally managed our account from ~315'000 points down to ~7'000 points, all for TATL roundtrips in F (FRA-SFO/LAX) in 2009. 
The new award availability matrix on the M&M page was of great help, much faster than the ANA tool. ^
Still ~110'000 points for Q4 activities are pending credit and this will only happen after the dead of PPB.

Better burn the points before 'they' do it 'on your behalf'...

Sehr geehrter Herr DUF,
vielen Dank für Ihre E-Mail.
Wir können Ihre Anmerkungen gut nachvollziehen und leiten Ihre E-Mail gern an die zuständige Stelle weiter.
Die Änderungen waren für Lufthansa jedoch notwendig, da das bisherige Punktesystem die Flugkosten nicht mehr gedeckt hat.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen

I know - I´m pretty sarcastic - just burned my points for this years christmas travel to LAX. The future use of points will be domestic awards, as I need them often and they seem to be at least of some value....
