Please familiarize yourself with these ground rules. Posts that do not conform to these rules will be summarily removed (without notice to the poster).
AA: "Upgrades are void if sold or advertised for sale for cash or other considerations. Members may designate another passenger to use their upgrades."
- Asking for SWU passes 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, SWU must given freely, with no strings attached. Requests for money, trading for SWU with different expiry or another airline’s instruments, or any other consideration, whether in the clear or via PM, are not allowed.
- 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 itineraries, international vs. domestic, etc.).
- Recipients are solely and entirely responsible for the payment of any fees or taxes associated with the use of a gifted SWU (e.g. United Kingdom Air Passenger Duty).
- This thread is NOT for the discussion of ethics, entitlement, or nomination of charities/groups as recipients. (Donating instruments for use in charity auctions or as prizes is prohibited by AAdvantage T&C.)
- If anybody offers to sell, buy, barter or trade SWU by PM, please contact the moderators immediately, as this is a violation of AAdvantage and FlyerTalk rules. Appropriate disciplinary action will be taken.
For obsolete posts, please see ARCHIVE: SWU giveaway (strictly freely given - no quid pro quo) (link).
Thanks everyone!

Have 2 remaining SWUs... same rules as the post above this one... plus, I would prefer to give them away to two different people to avoid monopolization.. so, the first two to PM me will receive one each.
Thanks
Thanks

I may not post all that much but I research a lot for my travel business. I have never stumbled across this particular wiki until today and I just want to say how much it warms my heart to see this FT tradition. That is all! Have a great week, everyone, whether you are traveling or not!

I thought I had a family member who was going to use up my last two SWU's, but that fell through, so if anyone wants them, let me know!

Two free SWU expiring in a week
UPDATE:
I already found takers. I will update again if they don't clear and SWU becomes available again.
-----------------------------
Hi,
I've got two SWU that expires on Jan 31. I have a trip on Feb 4 but AA wasn't willing to extend the deadline so I'm giving these two away.
So the conditions are:
1) The travel has to be completed by Jan 31
2) I would prefer to give this to someone who is traveling internationally (or at least transcon)
3) I would also prefer to give it to a trp where the SWU will clear immediately.
Please PM me if anyone could make a good use of it.

I have 3 SWUs left expiring next week! Unlike all these crazy rules people are trying to feel powerful and restrictive, the only rule I have is that there is C space available on the flight. Bottom line, even if you want to fly as short as Los Angeles to Las Vegas, the upgrade is yours if it can be applied immediately. I really don't care who you are or where you are flying. PM me with details and screenshot of upgrade space availability.

Wish I'd found this thread earlier! Done four round trips in Y UK-US since the first message was posted an upgrade on any one of them would have been a welcome treat, maybe next year :-)
Great idea and nice to see so many people gifting.

I have 1 SWU. PM me with your Reservation # and I'll ask AA to apply it. Please check that there is C / SWU availability first.
