The first option conceivably means you can be a member for a longer stretch, with access to all membership benefits. The second would keep you from missing out on a deal that might be cancelled prematurely or from being able to use up all the offers if they stack quickly with short expirations.
Obviously you quit as soon as possible when another deal is about to go off, but otherwise? I tend to go the prolongment route, just because I'm not confident that the current wealth of deals will continue indefinitely, but how about others?.

As soon as the last credit posts to my account, I use it immediately and then cancel. I don't wait around for potential sales since I've never taken advantage of any of them. That way, if a new offer pops up, I can get it if I qualify.
At this point, I've used all of the offers out there that I'm aware of, so I no longer qualify for any of them. Additionally, I no longer get any enticements to stay when I start canceling. I've been made
Anyway, using credits is easy for me since I only use them for series. Right now, I'm working on Asimov's Foundation series (Robot, Empire, Foundation).
