I am gold with VFF and since reaching the threshold early in my membership year, I have been pooling to Mr Jones.
My review date is 21 April and renewal date is 6 May. I have flights booked during that time and was planning to turn off family pooling so they start accruing for my next year of membership but now I am wondering if that is correct, given the renewal isn't until 6 May.
So, my question is, do status credits earned between review date and renewal date accrue to the old membership year or the new one?
(I was platinum with VFF for a few years but never found a lot of use for it, whereas MrJones has erratic flights due to his BFOD employer policy, so family pooling to him made sense. I realise this is ending with the new system.)

Status credits earned after your review date accrue to the new membership year.

Last year the time between my review date and renewal date occurred during the triple-status-credits promotion and I earned 480 SCs between review & renewal date, helping me to requalify for Platinum for another year. Happy times.
 
@MollyJones , in earlier days there was a problem with status credits earned during the review period not posting properly; in those cases contact with Velocity was required to rectify.

These days there is no such issue.

My review date is 28th February with a renewal of 15th March. Flights I took 10th and 11th March posted to my current year automatically. (Although they did not show up in my status activity until the "renewal review" was completed.)
 
If only it was consistent. I cannot get the call centre to give me a straight answer! My review date is 23/4 and renewal date 7/5. I am 46 credits short of Platinum Gifting and the 125 credits of the recent promotion will land "up to four weeks after 31/3". Of course that date could be right in the middle of my dates. Mind you, like one of the earlier writers, might be better for next year and the friend can do with 🥇 🥱. Mind you, I am LST based, so no lounge.
