Finally, and this is where it gets interesting, if the final posting of points to your RR account occurs on or after 1-1-2015, they are still 2014 points for CP, which is what we are interested in knowing. This creates two confusing possibilities. It is possible that you can earn CP in 2014 without having the points post in 2014. You will be able to go back and see the posting (now, early on it disappeared with the reset). This may necessitate calling and getting the points recognized as 2014 points so that you can get a 2015 CP.
