End Of The Month Miles & Points Checklist

Derrick used to put out an end of the month miles & points checklist to help people remember to maximize everything they had available to them. I figured I would keep the tradition going, and I was in the mood especially after yesterday's guide on cards that have spending bonuses reset each year. I will update and repost this miles and points cheat sheet towards the end of every month to ensure you don't forget anything. We will cover card perks that are ending, monthly discounts, credits, spending offers and everything in between.

Update 6/20/26: The end of the month is fast approaching so make sure you didn't leave any money or points on the table.

Extend Your Fuel Points

Note: Kroger planed to sunset this benefit in 2024 But Reports Seem Positive So Far.

If you collect fuel points in a grocery rewards program it may be possible to extend them at the end of each month. I know this is the case with Kroger's fuel program. You call (800) 576-4377 and they will extend your points another month. You can do this 3 times per account, per year. So you if you have a few different members in your household that have an account you can move onto the next one when your extensions are up.
