400 miles short of CP...will fly on end date...will those miles count?
I am currently on a business trip in Hawaii and coming up to the end of my trial preferred 90 days. I am currently Platinum and only 400 miles short of Chairman Preferred. My trial end date is December 4 and I will be flying back to mainland US on December 4 at 11:50pm from Honolulu so that is obviously more than 400 miles. Will those miles count and will I attain my goal of Chairman Preferred? I don't see why it wouldn't count since I will take off on Dec 4 (10 minutes prior to Dec 5 local time) but would appreciate confirmation either way.

It should, but best to call DM after the miles post just to be sure there's no funny business going on.

+1. My gut and experience says you're fine, but save your receipts, boarding passes, and gum wrappers :-) to prove to US that you took that flight on the 4th. US has been known to screw up far less-complicated IT tasks.
