Level 2 (200,000 LP) – Choose 2

***Beoplay HX 3rd Gen. over-ear noise-canceling headphones, Beoplay E8 Sport wireless earbuds or Beosound Explore portable Bluetooth speaker. While supplies last.
Starting March 1, 2022, once you qualify for Loyalty Choice Rewards, you can choose your reward any time between the date you qualify and March 30, 2023. This gives you the flexibility to decide when to choose your reward, based on when you want to use it.
For example, if you qualify in May 2022, your membership year is valid through February 2024. That means you’ll have until March 30, 2023, to choose your reward. If you have more than one reward choice, you can choose one after qualifying and the other later, or both rewards later. It’s up to you.

My intuition tells me they should, but I can't find it in the T&Cs anywhere.

Can I apply it retroactively to the December purchase?

Per.com….The award must be redeemed from the selecting member’s account but can be applied to travel by anyone of the member’s choosing. Valid for 1 year from the date of selection.

It looks like SWUs are valid for one year once they were chosen in the previous (2021) and the current program. Back in 2021 I did hit 120 EQM and the choice I have to make by Dec 30 is either 40k of redeemable miles or 2 SWUs. So if I choose SWUs today, those will be valid through Dec 2023?

I gifted it to my brother this year and I recall it taking almost immediate effect.
That being said, the trips he had already booked did not show the new status so he had to have the airport agents add it to his reservations or something in order to get his benefits
