Points earned prior to upcoming expiration date have not posted yet, will I lose my points?

Will my points get transferred to my southwest points in time so that my miles don't expire?
My miles currently expire 1/18/18.
I recently made 2 purchases through the southwest shopping website. This will extend the miles expiration date, right? Please clarify.

RR points earned from shopping through the Southwest shopping portal usually post within a week of the item shipping or order completing, although some stores are slower and some rarely post. I haven't quite figured out if there's a pattern to it all yet. And yes, if the points post in time they will extend your expiration. Do you have a backup plan? Book a flight?
