I was saving my SWUs for a bigger trip and using miles/copays on domestic transcons, but given that I won’t take the big trip without confirmable C space at booking, I’m worried that I won’t use them on a big (optional pleasure) trip.
I've found in my years with AA, when calling EX Plat desk, its who you get and how you ask. Stupid that it seems to work out best that way, but that's been my experience. Many times I've been frustrated. Also, an earlier poster gave out a contact for a person in customer service. As they addage goes, the squeaky wheel gets the oil. FYI I'm like you, unless I get confirmed UPG space, I will do something else. Where i T.O. are you? I live in WLV
