For example, my statement closing date is Dec. 24, so I made sure to hit my last threshold on Dec. 23 last year to ensure the miles posted in 2012. Of course, I could be wrong and any spending after closing date could just get reset to zero on Dec. 31.
Spending thresholds are based on the calendar year, not posting date. If you hit the spend threshold in the calendar year, the MQM's will post and count towards 2013 totals regardless of when the statement closes or when your payment is due. They will retroactively add the miles back towards 2013, bump your status, and adjust your rollover down to 5K.
