Will the SWU show up as soon as the flight milage is added to my AA account? If not.... How long will it take for the SWU to show up in my account?
If you havent requested already, getting a SWU cleared this will be a challenge assuming it is a popular long haul route. If youve already requested a miles/copay upgrade (to get the timestamp), and will just convert that to an SWU, you might be in luck.
If the plan is 'qualify, 3 days to get SWU, then request upgrade the day before the return flight'...well..good luck
