So you must request at least 30 days in advance. Rumour has it StW starts on Jan 1. So, you can do it for your Jan 31 flight, I guess!
I guess my point was they wont evaporate on Jan1 and it gives you 31 days to apply them to any flight you have booked after Jan 31 if that rule is in effect.
The ones that expire 1/31/2020 *will* expire on Jan 31. It's *those* points which folks predicted would cause a rush due to the a) uncapped RPU earning form 2019 and b) unforseen conversion to PlusPoints creating a period of time where there are a lot of expiring points that wouldn't otherwise have been useful and were only available today.

So, if you can't StW until Jan 1, even though those points are there on Jan 2, you can't use them to StW since the point will expire before you fly.
