WN is on a calendar year now for elite calculations: A-list and CP. Counters reset to zero at midnight on New Year's Eve. This does not affect your redeemable points.

Since elite status is now valid for "all of the current calendar year and all of the next," it pays to reach goals as early in the year as possible.
