Website to trade SWU

I understand that this is against the T&Cs of pretty much all FFP; however, I would like to not discuss that in this thread.

In this month's American Way magazine I read a letter from an AA CS agent talking about calls that they receive the day the SWU's expire (last day of feb?) She wrote about how someone called her and asked her to upgrade a family of four randomly as the elite members certificates were expiring that day. She went on saying that she usually gets tons of call that day for upgrade, but no calls in to upgrade strangers.

My questions is - Is there a website for elite to trade/sell their SWU so that they don't have to throw them away at the end of the year?

FWIW, not just Coupon Connection, OP is not eligible for OMNI access either. Not to mention posts in OMNI/Games Forum don't count.

I don't know what OP should do to find such websites, but I do know this is one thing any FTer shouldn't do: Padding Post Counts.

So let's ignore the rules!

Here are two sites: e-Bay and Craig's List. [ /sarc]

Let us know how that works out for ya.

When you obtain enough posts you will have access to the Coupon Connection on FT. Until then you have no options that I would recommend.

Time to close this one.
