Thanks, that's the direction I've gone. We'll see what AMEX comes up with, but for now, they're asking me whether the flights are refundable, which doesn't give me great hopes & expectations.

You need an education about how to give away SWUs?
Just call AA. I doubt you'll be able to use them. I've given away 10/16 or so in the past two years. No use at all. And I gave them to EXPs.

Why would I do that? As I’ve said, when I give them away, they’re of no value to others and end up going unused.
How does moving to Delta make a AA SWU valuable?
