End of year CP chase - tracker notation inaccurate?
I opened a WN credit card last December, planning to earn a 50k bonus in 2022 and a 50k bonus in 2023. That is proceeding appropriately - I just have to spend ~$2k immediately after my statement closes this month, and I'll start off 2023 about halfway to CP renewal.
Trying to figure out how many points I need to earn to renew my CP this year (2022) is a little less clear. My tracker says I have ~95k CPQP, with the notation, "^Includes 10,000 annual Rapid Rewards Credit Card boost. Members with an open Southwest Rapid Rewards Credit Card on the first business day of each calendar year will earn one boost..."
As near as I can tell, though, that total does NOT include a 10,000 point boost - looking at my year-to-date CPQP activity, the total is exactly what my tracker shows, and there is definitely no 10k boost listed. Am I supposed to already have the boost? Can I count on it being added to this year's total?
I am ready to book the hotel stay that will push me over, but I don't want to pay for an extra 10k redeemable points if an extra 10k CPQP will be posted for this year. Thanks folks!!

From the mobile website, I login and click the hamburger, then click 'View Account' and then click on the 'Climbing towards A-List' tracker image, which brings me to a page with both my A-List and CP trackers:
Edit: telling my phone to use the desktop site, I do not see that notation anywhere, so I guess it's probably a 2023 page that was inadvertently made live early for mobile.

I go with a mistake.
The 10,000 boost goes with the 135,000 requirement.
(both of which start next year/month)
