Until March 1, SWU's are the only choice benefit you can select - the RU/GUs cannot be selected until March 1.

If you have a 2013 CB selection left, you need to use it before then and as such you will get the old style SWU. It appears that these "old" SWUs will have to meet the old requiremnets (regarding fare class) but will be usable on the JFK transcons. if you have a 2014 benefit, you can use it now on 4 of the old SWUs or wait and get 4 of the new regional ones.
