click on the benefit information footnote at the bottom.
As others have stated, Citi LP count to the period within they post.
Both Citi and Barclays post LP's from your regular monthly spend based on the statement closing date.
My Barclays posts on the exact closing date and my Citi posts a day or two after.
Looking at the T&C's in that link there's nothing to suggest otherwise. The only context in which the specific card purchase transaction date matters is for the LP bonuses, i.e. spend $50k and get a 15k LP bonus or whatever, but that's something completely different than what we've been discussing.
The T&C's for the Aviator make this pretty clear, from Barclaycardus.com:
All AAdvantage® miles earned by the primary cardmember and any authorized user(s), through use of the Card Account, will be transferred to the primary cardmember’s AAdvantage® Account after the close of each Card Account billing statement.
