Converting Gift Points

I have a premium membership, paid for a year in advance.

I also now have enough gift points for a free month of premium membership, some of which expires before my year membership expires.

How do I juggle that? Do I convert the gift points now? Does it just add another month to my membership? Do I cancel my membership so that it doesn't automatically renew? If I cancel my membership now... does it stop now, or at the end of my year?

So many questions!

From the FAQ

What happens if I'm already Premium and gain a free membership?
If you gain a free month of Premium by helping BGA or redeeming Gift Points, your current membership period is automatically extended by one month.
For example: if you should have been billed on April 13th, you will be billed on May 13th instead.
Please note: if you receive the free month just prior to the renewal of your membership, it may be too late to cancel the next billing. In this case, we will delay the subsequent bill instead.

I'd say convert them right away ;)

To answer your last question, the FAQ says: "Even if you cancel your membership, you will remain Premium for the remainder of the period you have already paid for."
