...Similar to last year, CK status comes with EXP status (if not already earned), plus the eight SWUs that are a part of EXP status, plus an additional two SWUs for being CK, plus complimentary Admirals Club membership. All in all, a very nice bundling of services for AA premium flyers
This year I got the CKnrenewalmemail but have not received my packet. I think I am nominated by my company. I wonder how they decide who gets the extra SWUs??

My packet just came today --if you got your email then I am sure it is just a matter of the Post Office. My packet mentioned nothing about extra SWU's this or last year either.

this will be my third year as CK. I am already EXP; last year I did not receive the two bonus SWUs which many of you speak of.

I am traveling through Friday and unable to check the package's wording until I get home but I did just check my AAdvantage account online and definitely received two complimentary SWUs (not a part of the ELTA). I do remember the language in the package stating that I was receiving two complimentary SWUs. Will report back later in the week.

The extra VIPs seem to be tied to how you were invited. Those who's email (and insert in the printed materials I assume) was signed by the VP of Global Sales did not get the extra VIPs. Those who's was signed by VP of Aadvantage got the extras.
I'd speculate that those invited by Sales are more the "influencer" (but possibly also aairpass related) types and therefore AA might not think they need more than the standard 8. Those invited by Aadvantage are likely the very heavy/profitable flyers who would actually need more VIPs based on their flight activity.

Same letter I received. I framed it.
