It has done correctly every time I have had flights taken right up to the deadline. Flights have posted after 8th, been added to my lifetime total, but the TPs have been immediately zeroed and not added to my new year.

The only question is whether like in the OP’s case it would also recognise the status change if those points were the remaining ones needed to take the member over the threashold for the previous year. On that issue I am not sure, but even if it doesn’t I think a quick call would resolve it. As with normal status updates it may be worth waiting a day or two after the relevant flight actually posts beforehand calling, as status updates do lag 1/2 days behind flight posts.
