my Chase statement closed on Dec 4.
i ticked over the next $5K threshold on Dec 15.
my Chase statement closed on Jan 4.
my WOH shows Jan 4 dated entries for the points earned from Chase AND a Dec 31 dated entry for 2 qualifying nights at $5K.
so, it looks like my prediction above was incorrect.

i say “looks like” because my WOH also shows a Dec 31 dated entry for 5 qualifying nights.
i know this because i called to get a detailed description of the entries.
this entry should clearly be for 2019, as these 5 nights already posted for 2018 and has not for 2019.
perhaps both entres, the 5 and the 2, should be dated Jan 1.

the way it stands now i am 7 nights over my plan for 2018 and 7 under for 2019.
