It needs to not only be booked by 12/31, but also post by 12/31 to use that year's credit. Otherwise, if it posts on 1/1 or thereafter it will use the following year's credit and this is clearly stated in the terms of this benefit. That's the risk of waiting until the very least minute to book... I understand that sometimes it can't be avoided but it's still a risk you're taking.
