Does anyone have an American Airlines upgrade that is expiring and they’d be willing to gift. Have a really long international flight with 3 legs that I’d love to be able to gift my partner an upgrade but can’t personally afford one. Thank you in advance.

There’s no guaranteed upgrades for American. There’s only SWUs (system-wide upgrades) but even those clear by status and being that it’s a long international flight yours most likely wouldn’t clear due to others using theirs or paying for the upgrade FYI

like

If there’s confirmable upgrade space with no waitlist its automatic. This is the trick with SWUs: never use the waitlist until day of.

Free upgrades on AA only work CONUS. international flights require dollars or extra points to upgrade per leg.
