Well, I went to redeem points today, and we are now short on the spend requirement by a few dollars, and have no more spend planned before Feb 28. Can't redeem the points and now they're going to expire. There doesn't seem to be a good way to tell when you'll go below the $5K threshold AFAIK.
Ugh, that stinks, but it's a good warning that just because you're above the $5k today you may not be tomorrow.

Depending on the number of points in question here I would be tempted to call BE and see if they could somehow waive the $5k at least till the end of the month. Worth a shot.
