I  just spoke to chase customer service, they said they changed the policy and you have the whole 2017 to spend the $300 from 2016 along with your $300 from 2017.  That means that if you already  spent $300 in 2016 then you will get the additional $300 as before in 2017.  But, if you opened  your reserve in 2016 and did not have a chance to spend your $300 in 2016 for the first year only it will carry over to 2017 and you will get a $600 credit in 2017.  This can alleviate some of the pressure that you have to spend the $300 credit before the end of the year, the whole statement generating thing doesn't matter anymore .
WOW this will be a DDMS post, NOT!  :)

Try to call yourself. He said they changed the policy. Even if it doesn't show you have a $300 credit available call them and they will manually do it. He noted my account so I'm covered already but hope its true for everyone.

You're aware that CS reps have no issue making up policies and federal laws as they speak, right?

IMLE . When promised something by a phone rep , even you give them a recording they can always say that the rep was mistaken and they do say that plenty. With sm though it gets honored.
