I was an early December (December 7th) but yeah if platinums gets awarded early Jan (i have a late jan booking) then no real issue.
I'm Hilton plat too, and comms between hilton and me is usually pretty good, this was my first year to try and go for Marriott plat... i will say that in general comms with Marriot backoffice, some of the places i have stayed is terrible.... emails go unanswered or are simply vague... seems you need to ask at least 3 times for things to happen....
