Catch points and miles before they quietly expire

Put scattered loyalty balances, expiry dates and activity rules into one watchlist. Get an early heads-up with the official rule and sensible options, without spending money just to rescue low-value points.

Replace the [brackets] with your details, then paste this into your assistant.

Build a loyalty expiry watch for [programs] using [redacted statements, screenshots or explicitly authorized accounts]. Do not ask for passwords, complete payment details or recovery codes. Record the program, balance, account-specific expiry date when shown, last known qualifying activity, relevant status, evidence link or filename, and date checked.

Verify each program's current rules using its official terms. Distinguish inactivity expiry, fixed-date expiry and benefits with separate deadlines. Do not assume every purchase, transfer, redemption or login extends a balance. Record the exact eligible activity and timing rules, applicable exceptions, and the official source. If the account display and general terms disagree, flag the conflict rather than guessing a deadline. A missing expiry date means unknown, not that points never expire.

Make a watchlist ordered by the nearest verified deadline, with reminders [90, 30 and 7 days before expiry, or my chosen lead times]. In each brief show what is at risk, what changed since the last check, the applicable evidence, and the lowest-effort options that the official rules actually allow. Include doing nothing as an option; compare any cost with a conservative, clearly labeled estimate of value to me, rather than a universal cash value for points.

Never book, transfer, buy points, redeem a reward or change an account without my approval of that exact action. Do not claim a balance was preserved until the program confirms the new status or expiry date. For recurring checks, confirm supported access, [frequency, timezone and private destination], verify the saved schedule, and report missed checks or inaccessible accounts. If automation is unavailable, deliver the dated calendar and a manual update checklist.
What the result could look like

A deadline with evidence and choices

An illustrative watchlist flags a balance approaching its account-displayed deadline, links the official qualifying-activity rule, and compares a no-cost permitted option with letting a small balance lapse. An uncertain second program stays marked “needs verification.”

Illustrative example. This is not an observed result or a verified recommendation.

Make it more you

Track free-night certificates and companion benefits as separate items because their deadlines and rules can differ from points. Keep purchase and redemption decisions outside the monitoring task.
