Me too, I chose two SWU (marked complimentary) after the two and four from "exec plat" for a total of 8.

Yeah. Looks like it auto posted the milestone rewards as SWUs for everyone who qualified, regardless whether they selected it yet

Yep, I'm at 209k EQM and I chose the 40k miles at both milestones instead of the SWUs. Seeing 4 extra SWUs in my account now...

I flew 150k EQMs but did NOT select my "bonus gift" yet but did get 2 extra's deposited Dec 31 that say "EXEC PLT"

Seems like this is only relevant to those who have surpassed 150k eqms.

Same here. 200k, so have 4 extra.

Likely just a glitch where it auto posted for everyone

After seeing this thread, I checked my account and, sure enough, there were two extra SWU's for a total of eight. I'm not complaining.

Im over 150k but under 200k. I have not chosen my 150k option yet in the wallet. Received 2 SWU's on the 31st marked as "Exec Plat". Thinking like most this is a system error. Can only imagine it going 1 of 3 ways:

American states there was an issue and lets us keep them
American states there was an issue and redacts them
American hasn't sent out marketing material for a promo they could be targeting FF's over the 150k amount
