SWU vs Upgrade with miles and $$$
If 2 EXP travelers are on a wait list and have requested upgrades..
1 is using SWU, the other is using miles and $$ Are the requests weighted equally (then the date requested would factor in)? I can't find anything that "officially" answers the question. TIA Bob |

lutzboy, GullwingSL,
I too will end the year with some SWU left, as I have been purchasing J and F this year. Given that, any chance they will extend the expiration date? If not how do you plan on using the 17/25? Thanks! |
Could not find this with a search but once I hit 100k and have no incentive to keep using my AAdvantage for my oneworld flights, can I enjoy the benefits of being Emerald (by showing my emerald card) while having the FFP from a different OW airline on my boarding pass?

Requalified for EXP after a round trip to LA. Thanks for the help from FTers!
Now the question is, will AA launch elite rewards this year? |

Been wanting to post on this thread for a LONG time! Finally made EXP from an AS flight from PVR to SFO. Flight was on Friday, miles just posted today. It felt like forever. Now I need to wait for the darn luggage tags! :) Here's how I made it: 100,059 EQP; 70,441 EQM and 28 Segs.
Quick question for the EXP veterans: regarding SWUs, will I receive 8 now (for 2014/15) and then an additional 8 in 2015? Cheers, Son |

The 8 you receive now will be valid through February, 2016. When you requalify next year you'll get 8 more valid through February, 2017.

I'm on a separate RL than my wife and kid. Should I get an upgrade and then pass it on to my wife, can I still claim my complementary snack and drink in coach?

Thanks for the clarification. One other question - I have trip to ORD with the family in a few weeks. I'm on a separate RL than my wife and kid. Should I get an upgrade and then pass it on to my wife, can I still claim my complementary snack and drink in coach?

Just reached EXP for the first time with flights home from Brazil on Friday. EXP status showed up in my account Saturday afternoon, and SWUs posted this morning. 101,819 points, 73,000 miles, and 36 segments.
Now I am trying to figure out how to get Mrs DevilDawg to meet me in Europe for a much needed vacation. Our goal is to have her meet me in Munich on September 17th and then fly home with me from Milan on October 7th. Called the EXP desk to see what options are. Looked at booking her RDU-DFW-FRA to use SWU but no C availability so would have to waitlist. Also looked at reward options in to FRA or MUC. No business awards to MUC so holding a 50,000 mile Business Saver Award for RDU-PHL-FRA on USAir; she would then take train from FRA to Munich. I am already booked in paid J MXP-JFK-RDU on 10/7. To get her on those flights is 135,000 Anytime Business Award. No C availability for SWU and no Business Saver availability. Seems steep but I cannot think of any other options. If anyone has any ideas on a better/more economical way to get Mrs DevilDawg to join me I would appreciate it. |
Just made EXP for the very first time!
