The matter is this:
Dec 31st would be my 50est night, and therefore my re-qualifying night for Diamond. That is if the night counts toward 2016. So I emailed Gold Passport.
The GP rep replied: "I would like to inform you that the last night of Saturday, 31 December 2016 will count in the year 2017"
To double check I also called the Diamond line. Now this rep told me: "The night of Dec 31 will count towards 2016."
Confusing. Any thoughts, experiences?
In the past, 31 Dec (checkout 1 Jan) automatically counted for Jan, but could be manually counted for Dec upon request. This has also generally been the rule for promos that end at the end of a month.
Since it is an important threshold, I would get something in writing. You could PM the Concierge here on FT to confirm, and specifically ask if it can be credited to 2016, even if it has to be done manually.
