Expiring (29 Feb 2016) SWU / VIP giveaway thread [PLEASE READ WIKI!]
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 29 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:
FAQ: New changes 90%+ eliminate post-expiration SWU use (Jun 2014) Familiarise yourself with the ground rules in the locked wiki. Posts that do not conform to these rules will be removed without notice to the poster. This thread will be archived shortly after 1 March 2016. If anything in the rules of this thread is unclear, please contact moderators privately. ~AAdvantage forum moderators |
One question: the thread title says Feb 29 but the wiki and the message itself both say Feb 28. I would assume the real expiration is Feb 29, but can someone confirm?
I have a MR scheduled to leave on the 28 and coming back on the 29, hence the question. :D |

What to do with swu's???
2 expiring on 2/29. Not for sale. However, be glad to provide them to FT'ers who might be able to use them. Pm me if interested. Best reason why using them wins.

<redacted>
I have two more to go that are expiring on 2/29/16 and am waitlisted on 1/30 and 2/3, I may have a different opinion after that! Edited to add: <redacted> if my flights don't clear, I probably will offer them up, but please don't PM as I don't have any available at this point. Edited again: So, between the merging of the original thread with this thread, and the removal of the quoted post, my message makes no sense. I was responding to a comment on the general SWU state of play, which made sense when the message was in a thread that wasn't the "SWU giveaway" thread, but it got merged. Anyway, my flights both cleared (LAX/LHR and LHR/JFK), and so I have no expiring SWUs to offer up. Sorry (kind of). |
I used all of my expiring SWU up, and have already had two new ones and two BXP upgrades granted. No complaints here other than earning cut in half unless I earn another 50,000 EQM. Not likely this year.

Update
Thanks to all who replied to my post.
I was able to provide and confirm my 2 swu's to a couple returning to their hometown after a major surgery. |
As a reminder, please post offers of SWUs here, and come back to let us know when they're spoken for. General SWU discussion or discussions about upgrade chances would belong in the appropriate thread for that topic. :) Thanks to everyone who offers!

What part of "asking for SWUs is not permitted" is hard to understand, exactly?
