Personally, I was hoping that they would post earlier so that I could use those EQM to help me get to the 125K level for the Elite Rewards. =/
If you fly after Jan 2nd, then any elite miles for those flights will belong to the 2010 year. So I guess, yes? Miles awarded after Jan 2nd are applied to 2010?
They run the batch on Jan 2nd since after Dec 31, there is no way to earn miles for the 2009 year. You just need to wait for miles for flights on Dec 31 or before to post. Since DBLEQ ends on Dec 15, any miles that need to be doubled will have posted by Jan 2. Miles needed for ELTRW for flights flown on Dec 31 or before count as in the 2009 year.
