Crunch to get Companion pass

[Ddgeller]

I am extremely close to getting my companion pass.  I ordered flowers for the 1000 points, staying at a hotel December 22 for 10,000 points and rented a car returning December 22 for 1200 points.  I’m seeing mixed reviews here about hotel posting within a few days.  Can someone with experience staying at a hotel that offers a lot of points after you check out tell me if it is most likely to post by the 31st.  I’m so close but just can’t go spend $10,000 to reach 110,000 points.  Thanks for your help!

Sorry, but no one will be able to guarantee when points will hit your account. It varies by property.

A $1000 busness select flight will earn you 12,000 points. You might want to contingency plan a year end points run in case you need it. You can always cancel a business slect flight and get your money back.

If you get to that point, you have to ask yourself a question: will I get more value in 2019 from the CP than the $1000 in am spending in 2018?
