I am estimating I will end with 16 and I wish it was zero. I may just do a mileage run for the hell of it to use up the credits.
This is not a bad balance to end with considering I started the year with 30 credits from some year end 2015 promotions. I earned another 40 for my E50K select privileges and then an additional 55 credits for my complimentary upgrade to E75K (a joint Fairmont and Air Canada promotion if I'm not mistaken). So to start with 125 and end with 16 is not bad. Of course, the upgrade from Tango with an add-on helped a lot with using these up.

I do! I have three trips to the Us yet this year and only enough credits for one more one way! And next year, I will be doing a lot more.

A lowly 25K and all 20 are unused. And outside of the upcoming 1-day MR, nothing that else that is firmly booked is eligible. Seems silly to burn these on any segment of the MR, but I might as well, unless there is a way to book any weekendish trip in Jan/Feb that would certainly these up?

E50 and will end up with a bunch (haven't counted for a while but in the region of 30). Nominee option not open to me due to status.
Hate to see them expire and don't think I will use them as flights between now and end of Feb booked in J due to a great seat sale. Any suggestions welcome.

Thought of that, thanks though. Regrettably J appears full already on all my flights (small cabin, 319). Good for AC but not anyone wanting to eup.
Slightly off this topic (apologies) but noticed the link under your signature above. Really enjoying your trip vicariously. Happy Birthday!

If any SEs with open nominee slots are feeling charitable, I'm planning to fly YOW-SFO on Jan 1 or 2 and am 5 credits short for an upgrade from Flex.
I've upgraded others in the past (back in the day with more than 1 nominee slot) and will aim to do so again in the future. Please PM me if you'd like to help.

-4 will be left at the end of December - happy to have got my 20 for passing 100K just after the beginning of November (carefully planned) and another 20 in the annual bonus giveaway that don't expire until 2018
(-4 means I will have used 4 of the 2018 expiring ones - I don't think it is worth using another 21 for a planned YHZ-LHR flight even though there is lots of R space available - too short a flight to be worthwhile - OTOH if someone were to offer to make me their nominee....just sayin')

good question!! I know last year there was a mess-up. They gave us some credits- I think by mistake- but took some back and let us keep some. But that is certainly not 'annual'. Geoflying- did you get some 'bonus' credits in Nov???

See the 2 lines outlined in red. I am not sure how I got these and there was no email about them either year IIRC (except about the giving with one hand and taking away with the other that you refer to). Maybe my extra 20 this year are for becoming MM or something. I don't know. I don't do flight passes so it's not that.
