Click on 'Your Rewards' and it should tell you how close you are. IME the only thing that has not counted are the annual fee and foreign transaction fees.

Another important note is that it is calculated by when you make the purchase (before 1/1) and has nothing to do with the billing cycle. I hit my spending threshold last year in late Dec, but my card did not close until around January 10th. On the 10th, the MQMs posted for the previous year.
Excellent, thanks for the tips. $395 to go ....
