You can only request specific payment date not closing date. If you request last day of month, weekend at month end "might" affect closing. That is why I chose the way I did.
Open Date 8/23
Close Date 9/22
Payment 10/19
Base on that I'm going to want
Open Date 11/2
Close Date 12/1
Payment 12/28
Any purchases after 12/1 will post in Jan
If you are on the same page as me, basically you don't want to "earn" the points until 2024. So the safest thing to do is dont' hit the minimum spend until 2024. Like even if you underspend by $10, spent the $10 on Jan 1st. Others in here have optimized it even further but if you don't want to risk it and don't care about a few weeks without companion pass just don't hit the minimum spend until 2024.

FYI - I'm not an expert on this just giving my 2 cents, others can correct me.

Ideally should work but 12/30-31 being weekend and 1/1 non business day may or may not influence the actual dates. You may be taking somewhat of a risk.
2 years ago I got 100k points on a personal card with $3-5k spend I believe.
You are right, these are their typical standard card offerings. The intent of my post is the timing. If you start the process now, you have enough time to request pmt/stmt date changes and avail the pass for almost 24 months (2024-25).
I do not have any affiliation with slickdeals or southwest and don't know why there is an "Advertiser Disclosure" at the top.

In your case you are right. You will get the pass good from Dec 23 to 12/31/24. Make sure the 100000 points you are talking about are companion pass qualifying points and not just RR points in your account.
Edit: Man, flights are expensive nowadays.
Yes you can.

And I'm not saying its for sure gonna happen, but, most years, including last year, in late Oct or early November, there is a better offer than 50k for the individual card. (Last year it was 75k bonus for $3k spend on individual card---happened on Nov 4, 2022) Just sayin'....maybe wait a few more weeks.
