for AA status challenge:
if you sign up prior to july 1 (or whatever the cutoff is), but complete it after the date, is the status still valid thru jan 2018?
or, if you sign up prior to the cutoff, is it valid thru jan 2017 regardless?
i had this row with United a few years back.
so, simply put, if i clinch AA status on July 31, does it matter when i signed up for the challenge?
or does this need to go to the AA forum?
