One Mile At A Time: "Historically, which qualification year credit card spending counted toward was based on when your credit card statement closed, rather than when you completed spending. Your last statement close date prior to the end of the program year would be the last to earn you Loyalty Points toward that year’s status."
"With the latest change, all credit card spending that posts to your account before the end of February will count toward the current elite qualification year, so credit card statement closing dates no longer factor into this."
Points Wire Note:
