It seems to me most 5,10,12,14, etc anniversary upgrades happens after you pass the the actual anniversary date, is there any real experience about getting it few days before the anniversary date?

On the other hand, I did not receive any upgrade 2 years ago when I flew in early March (so still within weeks of my 16th anniversary). I did not fly until 5 months after my 14th anniversary and was likewise not upgraded.
