2022 Choice Benefits must be selected by Jan 31
Anyone with remaining 2022 Choice Benefits needs select them by end of January. If you don't they will be lost.
For reference do not select the following (they expire Jan 31 2023 regardless of when you pick)

Appreciate the reminder - unfortunately I didn't earn any for 2022, but did manage to use up all my prior years.
I do see that 2023 CBs are available for selection, though!

Once selected any idea how long until the benefit becomes available? I selected for my 2022 benefit RUCs 8 hours ago knowing they would expire end of this month (have a few flights this month that show availibility) and they have yet to show in my account. Really hope there is just some delay in them being added to account and I dont have to call in.

Thanks! Did indeed wind up taking about 14 hours - during which time unfortunately one of the flights I was looking at is only available to wait list now. Did succesfully apply to two other bookings this month (one with my wife) though so still a win even if a single certificate expires.

Thanks for the reminder! Didn't realize I had some 2022 benes I hadn't selected.
Is there any benefit to holding off and taking upgrade certs (from 2023 benes)? I.e. If I take them now, do they expire exactly a year from today? Or would they last until Jan 31, 2024?

Hi, can you clarify the upgrade benefit for me? I earned platinum level for the first time in September. So it seems that makes me platinum for all of 2023, is that correct? I did not pick my benefits yet. I was going to choose the regional upgrade certificates. I saw they expire end of this month though so can I still choose them after January for use in 2023? Should I have chosen something last year and then chosen again this year?
Thank you.
Thank you.

I’m a little confused too because I don’t see that my MQMs rolled over. I think I had about 100,000 so assumed I’d be starting this year with 25,000. Or doesn’t it work that way. Thank you.

It takes 1-2 weeks for the MQMs to actually roll over. Your thinking is correct, and they will show up.
