Great DP dates. One of ours was upgraded early Nov with an anniversary date of early Dec, so we'll see if the free night posts for the upgraded year. The prorated AF has not been billed (likely won't as the upcoming statement will be past the anniversary date.). Both airline and resort credits already utilized.

May 9 - Ascend $95 renewal fee
Oct 12 - upgraded from Ascend to Aspire
Oct 24 - received $250 airline fee credit (charges were on Oct 20)
Nov 17 - received $32.16 resort credit (charge was on previous day)
Nov 21 - received $217.84 resort credit (charge was on previous day)
Dec 9 - Ascend $39.58 refund and Aspire $187.50 prorated fee
Dec 13 - email from Amex indicating free w/e night
Dec 14 - email from Hilton with free w/e night details
So, it seems I received the airline credit in 2018, the resort credit in the partial year and the free weekend night after my partial year prorated fee was billed.
I fully expect to be able use my $250 airline credit after January 1st, 2019, as well as the $250 resort credit and another free weekend night after my annual fee is billed in May 2019.
