The 90 day renewal grace period allows you to retain your
current expiration date. For example, I attended the AOPA
FIRC in October and that allowed me to retain my January
expiration date. I can, attend another FIRC, at any time
and renew based on that date to reset my expiration date.
You can renew as often as you wish, but unless you are
within that 90 period, you will get a new date.

So if you want a July date, attend a FIRC or take an online
course or fly a practical test in July.
