This could be bad news for people in my situation. I want the 50k to hit in January. Closing date is today (Dec 23rd). Deadline to meet spend requirement is Dec 29th. My plan was to cross spending threshold on Dec 27th. I expected that to lead to bonus points being awarded when statement closes in January. That's how it's worked in the past. Am I screwed or am I still good as long as I don't pay off the balance?
I am also concerned with this as had planned on hitting the $2k limit tomorrow with a reimbursable expense that needs to be made before end of calendar year on one card that doesn't close until 1/6, and another $2k expense on the other card with a close date of 1/26. I obviously don't want either 50k bonus to hit in 2014, but I need to make the charges this week.
