I had a hit and miss year on the SWUs, but I was using them on friends rather than myself. I didn't do any international flights this year, so for the most part, my executive platinum auto upgrade was enough to cover me.

For friends with Gold or No Status, I was...

DFW -> India 2/4
DFW -> LHR 4/6
DFW -> Hawaii 0/4
DFW -> LAS 2/2

Only the LAS segments were automatic...and I decided to use them this weekend because they were running out.
