that post to the cardmember’s account each qualifying year. The 2022 qualifying year will be defined as January 1, 2022 to February 28, 2023 (14-month period). Starting in 2023 and going forward, a qualifying year will be defined as beginning on March 1st and ending on February 28th of the following year (12-month period)."
This implies they're using the posting date of the transaction, not the consolidated spend on a statement date. I think what may have tripped me up is I passed the threshold under either calculation in the same month, so I never noticed the distinction.
