[B] How do I go about extending it for a year? Is it as easy as calling and asking?

Perhaps I didn't use the best terms. You can't extend the SWU, but the 4 500-milers that you get are good for one year from issue. So, if your SWU expires in Feb, but you turn it in for exchange in Jan, they are good until next Jan. It's as good for flights up to 2000 miles, but not as good for transcons and presumable worthless overseas.
