If you're aiming to achieve AA status, it's important to note that there has been a change in the way spending is counted towards status. Unlike last year, any spending done in February 2024 will count towards 2024 status, even if it's after your February statement date closes. This means that if your statement closes on February 15th, spending between February 16th and 29th will count towards 2024 status (expiring on March 31st, 2025), while spending from March 1st onwards will count towards 2025 status (expiring on March 31st, 2026).

This change may impact those who prefer to double dip on alternating status years, as they now have limited time in March to qualify for status without a gap. However, it does provide clarity for those who are unaware of their statement close date. Stay informed and plan accordingly for your elite status goals.
