At the beginning of the year, I note the miles in my account. I then calculate how many miles I used during the year and how many I accumulated, and I know how many will expire in 7 years. Each year is a new tab on the spreadsheet.
Comedy, this is exactly what I do!

Although, in my template, I have also added an estimated point redemption value and miles classification columns to have a subtotal of where the miles come from: ie. BIS, airline bonus, credit card, hotel, car rental, etc...just for the sake of curiosity.

When I look back, I see a mass (massive for me anyway) of redemptions for myself and family totaling 335,000...nearly clearing out my account over the 12 month period right after the 1/7 year expiry announcement.
