All bets are off with the current state of Bonvoy IT, but in the past the system was smart enough to credit 12/31 in the prior year and 1/1+ in the following year.

Ah, the familliar chime of the annual FT tradition towards the end of the year asking what happens to nights around New Year. Very comforting indeed like putting on an old sweater.
Nights up to and including December 31 will credit to 2019 and nights from January 1 will credit to 2020 irrespective of checkin and checkout dates.
We will now hear various anecdotes of stays that have not posted like this and they may or may not be factually accurate based on our experience of Marriott IT. But do bear in mind that they are only anecdotes and the T&Cs are clear on this so if - for whatever reason - your stay over New Year does not post as described above then you should either keep quiet about it if it's in your favour or you can call Customer Support to fix it.

Does a stay on December 31st count as a night for 2019 status?
I have 74 nights booked and a 1 night stay from December 31-January 1. Will that count as a 75th night for 2019 or will that be 1 night in 2020? I'm sure this has been asked before but I couldn't find a thread discussing it.

Here you go. It can be hard to find a thread even when you know one exists.
