The OP would then receive 8 Systemwide upgrades which can yield an extra 200,000 miles on Coupon Connection and the OP would also be able to cancel award bookings at no charge. The OP would also receive the 2 extra benefits for reaching 40k and 75k miles..
Timing has a lot to with getting and attaining status. Needs to be in the year
AA very valuable SWU's are for AA flights. Can they be used on BA transatlantic flights? Swapping on Coupon Connection has its risk. And OP is not yet eligible for Coupon Connection access (180 days/180 posts ?)
