So if you open today, your status is good for 12 months till now, and then you would spend 10k during those 12 months, and it would be good till december 31 of the following year.

How it works is different though. Some people get 18 months out of the first year gold status. It's weird. If you plan on keeping the card it will give you gold status forever as long as you spend 10k+ every year.
