100K EQM in 2010 - earns 4 SWUs valid on any fare. Need restricted R class availability, valid from time the 4 SWUs post until 12/31/11.
100K EQM in 2011 - earns 6 SWUs on higher fare codes only. R class availability is still a requirement. These need to be used by 12/31/12.
I thought the SWUs were valid through the end of the 'Elite year' or now Jan. 31, 2012 (qualifying during 2010), and Jan. 31, 2013 (2011 qualification year).
ETA: SWUs issued in 2010 expire 2/29/2012; SWUs issued in 2011 -- expire 12 months after issuance!
