PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING!
As in past years, we often have very generous members of our community give away expiring systemwide upgrades. A reminder that upgrades will generally only be confirmed for flights on/before the 28 Feb expiry. (In the past, upgrades could sometimes be applied to flights post-expiration date as long as it could be confirmed. However, AA has recently become more strict. See this thread for more information: New *internal* changes will 90%+ eliminate post-expiration use of SWUs
Please familiarise yourself with these ground rules. Posts that do not conform to the rules will be removed.
Space
- Asking for SWUs is not permitted! Donors will post here, and members are welcome to communicate via PM from there. If you don't see an open request, don't ask for one.
- In order to comply with AAdvantage T&C, SWUs must given freely, with no strings attached.
- Out of respect of our generous donors, please follow their instructions and contact them with the information they request.
- Donors can ultimately make the choice of recipient (tenured/contributive member, longer flight itins, international vs. domestic itins, etc.).
- This thread is NOT for the discussion of ethics, entitlement, or nomination of charities/groups as recipients.
- If anybody offers to sell, buy, or trade SWUs by PM, please contact the moderators immediately, as this is a violation of AAdvantage and FlyerTalk rules. (Appropriate disciplinary action will be taken.)
Thanks everyone!

I had one left expiring at the end of this month an I just called to apply it to a last minute trip.....agent says it's not there and I only have the 8 thru 2016. I verified I had one left with EXP desk a couple months ago good till Feb 15.....anyone else experienced this?
Edited to note I just figured out I got lucky and EXP agent applied my SWU for a HKG trip post 2/28/15......very nice! Didn't think this was possible but I am not complaining

Agreed! As the very happy recipient of one of these eVIPs for a TPAC flight, I want to also thank the many generous FTers on this thread! Reminds me of the "community" that first drew me to FT (not to mention the fun DC-area DOs back in the day...).

I have 3 SWUs to give away that expire 2/28/15 in the hope that someone else may return the favor for a roundtrip flight to HKG that I have April of this year. No strings attached so just trying to build good karma. I tried to get AA to extend the SWUs, but they would not. DM if you would need help or would like to provide help. ;-). Thanks.

I have 2 SWUs expiring Feb. 28th.
PM me if interested, need PNR. Priority given to long haul flights. Please verify that the flight you want to upgrade has availability for SWU upgrades before PM'ing me (call AA and ask!)
And return the karma to someone in the future :-)

I too would like to thank bhomburg and the other generous FT's. Very much appreciated. It is a long way from Asia to the east coast. After 22 hours of travel I was still able to be productive and put in a full days work. Thank you

I also have one SWU up for grabs, although I see from the messages here that there are many of these floating around and there may be an availability crunch.
But anyway, PM me with a PNR and we'll see what we can do.
EDIT: SWU has found a very happy home on a 77W.
