Thanks so much for the input.
Perhaps SW has given extra time in 2023 for those trying to qualify with 125k points during 2022. And since I got all 125k in January 2023 I was awarded the 2023 CP, while still able to qualify for the next year with the finalized 10k.

This happened to me a few weeks ago as my renewed license had still not arrived in the mail after 7 weeks and I had spaced bringing my passport or global entry card. The TSA agent was understanding but still sternly asked if I had my expired drivers license or any other ID. I did have the expired one and he let me through (while also complaining about the mailing times for his own license). I hope this helps in some way.

I've earned 125k in points in 2023 from new card bonus when spending threshold was hit on jan 2, 2023 (card statement date jan 12, 2023) and other sw hotel stays that were both booked and completed after jan 6, 2023. Have been waiting for the cardmember bonus of 10k said to to hit by Feb 1, to achieve the required 135k for a companion pass valid until 12/31/2024. Today I logged into my account to see that I have earned the companion pass with 125k points only through 12/31/2023, yet it also shows I've almost earned my NEXT companion pass. Kinda confused. I really had planned on most of my use in 2024 but wanted to have it in 2023 for a couple small trips. Hesitant to accept and set up the companion pass now and miss out on 2024. To be clear, this is my first ever companion pass. Any insight would be welcome.
