What happens if you depart on your anniversary date, but arrive on the next day (or maybe even two days later)?

Just a thought, since I will be on QF 12 departing LAX on 30DEC, arriving 02JAN - and my anniversary date is 31DEC. At the moment, I am on 540 SC's, and should easily requalify for SG before this flight (at this stage - touch wood). As yet, I have not received the email from Qantas, and my status is still showing that I need to requalify by 31DEC, so I am guessing they are not going to comp me to SG for another year.

Any thoughts on whether this flight will count? (I think it *should*, but it IS Qantas we are talking about here).
