These are the SWU earned in 2010... rather than expiring 12 months out like SWU awarded to 1Ks, they don't expire until 2/29/12, a fixed date.
That's not how I read the official CO page announcing the change:
http://www.continental.com/web/en-US...OnePassChanges
"System-wide upgrades issued in 2011 will be valid 12 months from the date of issue."
Edit: what you said only applies to 2010-earned CO SWUs, going forward it's the same for both systems.
