Does MVP actually end on 31 Dec?? most programs go a month or two into the new year.

Best to wait, if possible, to submit your challenge until 2-3 weeks prior to first UA qualified travel.

doubtful in the normal course. Perhaps in the case of irrops

that can be done but since challenges are limited to once per 5 years, it would seem completing the challenge should be the focus.
