Then they will run another batch process overnight December 31st to up-Tier the then eligible. Remember, nobody matched from DL will be an AS 100K before the new year.

The information on the AS website doesn't indicate that you can't be a 100K on day one of your match - it merely says that you need to have DL platinum/diamond for 2024 and an AS credit card to get 100K. It's possible for both of those things to be true right now. The Dec. 31 date is provided for those who match now, but get the credit card after their match is approved.
