Back to thread topic, the past 90 day extensions has never raised concerns and were appreciated by those whose end of the year upgrades failed. There was an interesting difference in the GPU era, GPUs were locked when applied but now PlusPoints can be oversubscribed. Also the extra 90 days for a few GPU/PlusPoints has not been a widely known benefit.
One other difference between GPUs/PPs that may be relevant - you can end up with odd numbers of PPs (10, 20, 30) that can't practically be used such that carrying over allows you to potentially use them with new PPs.
