I have a rental beginning tomorrow, returning Thurs July 2nd, unclear if that'll be counted
This is not correct. I called the First Desk and was told that any First members will automatically migrate to Preferred Plus. The clock for re-qualifying does reset on 7/1 but that is actually immaterial unless you had a one time big first 2 quarters and even then you will keep the status until it would have ran out anyway.
