Decisions: I still have my 2014 DM and PM choices in limbo. I've been wavering about taking at least some SWUs so as to have more of them, but I've also been seeing (and buying) some nice Z fares, so that I've been using fewer SWUs recently. I have a handful that don't expire until January 2015 at this point and it's hard to guess how many more I'll need in the next twelve months. I'm already ticketed on one BE/partner TPAC award ticket, two TATL SWU (all successfully confirmed at ticketing) trips, and one good Z fare.

I purchased the SWUed tickets earlier than usual because I had one SWU about to expire and I wanted to get my seats confirmed before people started using GUCs just in case they quickly grabbed all of the upgrade inventory shortly after March 1.
