I am currently forecasting to be 1 night short of re-qualifying for Titanium by end of year (no open dates to do a mattress run, as I will be actively spending nights at some Marriotts already)

I have the Chase Marriott Boundless card where there's a benefit for every $5K spend you receive an additional elite night credit. My statement period closes on Dec. 22nd.

• When you hit $5K spend, do you know if Chase deposits the elite night credit immediately or is it every statement close date? (i.e., if I don't hit $5K spend until Dec. 23, did I miss my window to get the elite night credit deposited for 2022?)
• Are there stipulations on what the $5K can't be spent on? (i.e. Can I buy Marriott e-gift cards to manufacture $5K spend or will this not count as spend?)
