End of Month Checklist: Credits, Spending Offers and Fuel Points

End of Month Checklist: Credits, Spending Offers and Fuel Points

Another month has come and gone…well almost. Since it is the twilight of the month I wanted to put together an end of month checklist. This will include all of the random credits you have on your credit cards, other spending offers and deals that need managing each month. This one is extra special since it is also the end of the year!

Extend Fuel Points

Remember to call and extend the fuel points in your area’s program.  Benjy shared how to do this with Kroger.  It should work the same for most programs.

Final Thoughts

Hopefully you found this end of month checklist useful.  I will continue to update and post it every month as a reminder.  I know I need to take care of two of these things today so it is a good reminder for me too 😁.
