All the loyalty programs I've seen have two calendars. The first being the earning year which is typically from Jan 1 to Dec 31. A few used a rolling calendar but those are dying out. The second is the benefit year which sets the date when status drops if not earned in the previous earning year. For MPG that is now the end of January. This is mostly because it may take them that long to gather all the December stay info to make sure everything counts. Not sure if they will meet that this year and may be a ploy in their scheme of things that they don't have to fix something from last year if it's not going to change anything for the member. The "Oh Well Too Bad" approach.
