If you have an example it would be interesting to see a screenshot.
The flights post with a “transaction date” so the date the flight was taken, and a “posting date” for when they actually hit your account. Anything which has a transaction date of 8th or earlier and posts in the new membership year gets the TPs zeroed out straight away as far as your new TP balance is concerned.
Sorry, to be clear, my example of what I call 'messiness' was TPs posted from post-8th flights (in the grace period), which counted toward prior year status (i.e. pre cut-off) but were not zeroed out and remained on the account for the current earning year (i.e. post cut-off).
