Best approach for keeping small mileage balances from expiring?
I have tiny balances sitting in programs I barely use.
I need a low-maintenance system for expiration reminders and quick reset activity.
The admin side of points is starting to feel like a second job.

I need a low-maintenance system for expiration reminders and quick reset activity. is exactly the right target. The best systems are the ones you will still use after ten trips, not just one enthusiastic weekend.
The admin side of points is starting to feel like a second job. is the part most advice ignores, and it usually ends up being the reason people quit a tool or workflow.
I try to keep it simple: solve the biggest pain point first, then add extra optimization only if I keep up with it naturally.
My rule is that if a setup takes too much manual maintenance, I replace it with something simpler even if the theoretical upside is lower.
