Thanks tremendously for the rapid and insightful feedback, nabeelj and ExitRowAisle! That's a very good observation (and I read those posts earlier in the month, so I darn well should have remembered that issue!). I've sent email to dmsc, and I'm hoping that it works out (supreme irony will be if they say, "We fixed your Marriott stay but we also noted that your 21st Century quote shouldn't count, so you still have 31, hah!")
Dear QBK,
Thank you for contacting US Airways.
We reviewed your Dividend Miles account regarding the Grand Slam Promotion and our records show that you currently have 30 hits.
The Marriott stay on 11/14/11 was coded incorrectly by the partner and was not included in the hit count. This has now been corrected and will be picked up in the next Grand Slam review to be completed in the next day or so.

Dear QBK,
Thank you for contacting US Airways.
Yes, the Marriott hotel stay will count as a Grand Slam hit on the next
review, which will be your 32nd hit.

I realise there was a sweep on or around the 22nd January, but can anyone confirm there's been a sweep since then? And also when the next one would be due?
I'm trying to tie up a loose end with Biscoff and I've been promised it'll be resolved in the next sweep.
Thanks.

A sweep last night, for my 40th hit (long overdue). Transaction was dated 12/31, as were the 5000 EQM's, at last putting me over the top for 2012 Chairman's status. Whew.

P.S. Congratulations NJTraveler! That must be a relief.

Thanks. I don't think that it's a coincidence that yesterday I e-mailed the Chairman's Desk regarding the fact that I had not received any notification of 2012 status, and I also explained the situation re: my 40th hit that would put me over the top for Chairman with the 5k EQM's. They may have researched it and "sweeped" my account manually.....

No sweep for either my partner or myself. Time to engage DMSC, again.

Two of the remaining accounts I manage had their final sweeps on Feb. 16.

Not to belabor the obvious, but having a hit (one partner activity) isn't the important criterion; it's having a multiple of 4 hits (a tier).
Let's assume your 2/28 hit put you into a higher tier. In theory, you should have gotten the bonus on 2/28 or 2/29 when the sweep ran. However, it's also possible -- and seems likely in this case -- that the hit just missed US's processing deadline. In that case, you should see the credit when the penultimate sweep runs this week midweek. If that doesn't happen, you should contact US to inquire.
