I don't necessarily agree. There is the announced cut off date, Oct 15th, then there is the extra lenience to maybe the end of Oct. However if your miles don't post until Nov, even though they are backdated to pre Oct 15, I don't think you will get the early recognition benefits.
If anyone wants to prove me wrong, please go ahead.
