It is going to be a tougher selection for me this year. Not sure I am going to fly enough in 2018 to get SE on my own - so qualifying miles from passes or upgrade points? That said, who am I kidding? I will just make sure I fly enough indirect routes every trip or something like that. .

Same thing. The 50 eUps were in my account with 20hrs; still awaiting the 20 core privileges.
Timing isn't bad as I had used all 2017 eUps and wasn't looking forward to another red-eye in PY; with the 2018 eUps in my account, I'm now waitlisted for J for next week's flight.

Still no sign of the 20 eUps from the core privileges... I guess those won't be posted until March 1, 2018?
Not that big of a deal to me, as I don't have any more travel planned right now...

Seems like an odd conclusion.

Interesting that, like others, have my selections available even though I am not quite there with AQD ($450 short by their records). Passed AQM quite a while ago. Guess they just know I will get there as I have every year since 1998. I remember getting SE one year with only about 88,000 AQM (in the days before AQD). Haven't made any selections as I want them to get Priority Rewards sorted out first and I have no need of anything out of the 2018 program yet.

Sounds like the eUpgrades may be more valuable than the bonus miles.
Does your significant other travel much on her own though? I'm SE and my wife has historically had no status. This past year, she was 50K. Other than saving me a handful of eUpgrades on a couple of bookings (which is likely moot since I'll end up expiring a bunch of credits), it has made zero difference to us because she always travels with me.

I really only started to fly AC this year but will likely continue to do so, in addition to some TATL BA flights.

Same here.
Question- I got my bonus 10 eups for my 35k. I'm going to flip to 50k next week with my current trip. If I select the eups for my 50k bundle 1, will I get another 20 eups or is it smart enough to only give me 10 since they already have me my eups for 35k?
