Mine also expired on 2/9.
With my membership year renewing in Dec 2023, I was one of the lucky few who had the opportunity to double-down on the hotel and flight credits under the new and old program.
Doesn't look like the luck extends to PP access though lol. Time to move on to another card for that.

I thought if the terms didn't have lifetime language than having had the card in the past is irrelevant. At least that's how it worked every time I applied and was approved for Biz Golds and Plats with NLL.

Where/ how are you told this? As a pop up when submitting application? Or you asked a rep?

I had the card before and received the bonus but a couple of months ago there was a new offer with “no lifetime language” which meant that when I applied I did not get the dreaded pop up and I am just about to complete the $3k spend in 6 months, not the 3 months, you usually see.

Yes. A July 1st checkout would incur a July 1st charge and uses the July-Dec credit. If you're trying to use the Jan-Jun credit, maybe on June 29th, you could ask the hotel to bill you early. I don't know if that's possible. Maybe someone else can answer the time zone question.
