Yes, mine said December too, but it was clearly an oversight.

Hang in there. I submitted January 3rd, in the morning, and just got word last night.

Thanks @David Harper CFA FRM, I am not going anywhere. I'll stick around and try and respond when I know the answer. BT for life! Still waiting for you to start offering some BT schwag, shirts and hats etc.
