I've only been doing this for about a month. I keep my receipts and used cards in one gallon sized plastic bag, while I put my statements and CC's (only 2 right now) that we're not trying to hit a spend on in the other. I like the idea of using a Google Calendar to manage statement close dates though.
Cash in some of your points for gift cards to Nieman's and tell your wife that you're buying a new pair of shoes because of your MS spend. She'll get onboard quick.
