My 4 SWU's were deposited today due to exp renewal. thank you.

that's the good news.

the bad news is there is nothing redeemable at booking to any Asian cities they fly to in January of February. This time last year I had choices everywhere. Not the case anymore. Something has changed and hearing "YMMV" doesn't mean jack. They have pulled the plug and SWU redemption at booking has all but gone. There isn't even the "swu availability" link posted on AA flights either anymore for any flight.

For kicks and giggles I checked LHR availability too in Feb and Jan...zero across the board. EXP is worth nothing anymore.

Thanks AA for taking away the last benefit that made EXP worth it!
