Just made EXP / Executive Platinum! Resources, ask questions, brag (2019+)
First, a hearty welcome to Executive Platinum status!
New Executive Platinum members, whether "self-made", via your Concierge Key nomination or made by AA offers, including challenges, to similar status holders from competing airlines, often have questions about how the program works.
Feel free to post your questions here, but also be aware many of your questions about American Airlines, AAdvantage and Executive Platinum status can be answered in these resources:
● Link to What are Executive Platinum / EP / EXP benefits? Are they worth it? (consolidated) thread on FT
● Link to AAdvantage Elite Status guide and charts on aa.com
● Link to "FAQ: American Airlines and AAdvantage - Please check here first!" thread.

Sort of -- you earn a choice of award at 150K and 200K, and one of those choices is 2 SWU. But they aren't automatically added like they were in the past. There is also an award choice at 250K. But sadly, the 300K incentive from last year seems to be gone.

just requalified but I'm contemplating adding another airline, since I have zero confidence I would get CK. (last year was $50K and 150KMQD and I started in March). which airline would you add if you lived in Boston? NYC, DC, Dallas, CHI are my mainstays in the US and the global is London, Rome, Singapore, Shanghai)

Making EP through challenge -- SWUs
I' currently inside the 90 days of a challenge, as part of the Hyatt crossover thing. My end date is mid-August. If I make EP through the challenge, will I get 4 SWUs to use through 31 January 2020, in addition to the 4 to use through 31 January 2021? The wiki and aa.com seem clear on this (yes); but just double-checking to make sure that there is not an exception or some such for folks qualifying through this or other challenges. TIA
