Velocity Partner Reward Availability Rules

[Human]

I asked this in the newbie thread but didn't get an answer (after also being unable to find a clear answer trawling through older posts and threads). But does SQ have a separate reward seat 'bucket' for their Saver miles seats versus the ones they release to their partners? I'm searching for rewards seats on Velocity around 300-330 days out and can't find seats available even though on there are still Saver fares up for redemption through Krisflyer. Have also done searches for the same dates through Air Canada Aeroplan and there are also different seat availability for the same SQ routes versus on Virgin Velocity.

I think you've just answered your own question but if you can see Saver availability through KrisFlyer but nothing via Velocity, it might be worth calling Velocity on the off chance that you can book the reward seats over the phone. A long shot, but possibly worth it.

Thanks yeah I also saw one of the older posts suggesting that similar to Qantas release of J seats for platinum members calling up. But didn't see anyone else follow up on that so might just have to bite the bullet and give it a try myself. Worst case will just have to cough up the 1.55x transfer ratio and book through krisflyer.
