Please read: This is a community-maintained wiki post containing the most important information from this thread. You may edit the Wiki once you have been on FT for 90 days and have made 90 posts.
PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING!
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: Expiring SWU / VIP giveaway (strictly freely given): 2018 Edition (link) and the 2017 version.
Thanks everyone!

To redrock &AAbruflyer - I am attempting to resolve issue with PM set up - I haven't received any. My last messages were from 2013 and I'm trying to figure out how to fix. My apologies.

Well, after flying the family from Tokyo to Miami in coach due to upgrades not clearing, I have 4 SWUs available. And having been the recipient of year-end giveaways before, it's time to return the favor. Prefer to upgrade a large group. Please PM me if:
Tyler
- Your locator has at least 2 people on it
- Your total flight time across all segments in the reservations is more than 6 hours
- There is currently C availability for all passengers and all segments
