Intresting check-in at JFK

So due to my company cutting back we can only fly Upper if a night flight back from the east coast. TBH I don't bother from Boston and JFK. I save the budget for more as by the time you are up, get settled..time to land etc, etc, etc.
On my check-in today I got asked by the check-in lady if I had a new Au card. I said "no". She went on explain that "Your card had expired." :0
I showed her the card and it clearly states expires 10/12. Would be fab if it did expire today, will make next years Au very easy as I have PE tonight to LHR and then a couple of LHR - SFO returns in Upper booked already plus the bonus tier points and miles.....
I got the lounge invite anyway so all
's
It does bode two questions
1. Is the card or the check-in attendant incorrect?
2. How do you check when your account does roll over for the year. It is a call? Just the card? Or do you just have to remember last year.
