Yes, for whatever reason, it seems that as long as you have a counter of the number of dines for achieving (or renewing) VIP status, you see that counter go down typically a day before your dine actually shows up on the list!

Of course, once you've attained VIP status for the year, there is no such counter any more, and thus there's no longer any "one day ahead" clue that your dine is about to post (until it actually does post at the RN site).
