I don't know why but Freenom's automated warnings work for me.

I have just renewed some of my free domains on Freenom a few days ago. They do send warning emails before my free domains expire. Never miss any one of them.

WOW!  I haven't ever received a Freenom renewal notification - maybe they've changed their system for the free domains?  That was the only part that put me off as now and then I missed renewing my dot.tk domain in time.  I've been lucky then because in almost all of the cases I'd forgotten, except one, I was able to get the free domain back when I reregistered it.  I have three dot.tk domains due for renewal in November so I better watch out to see whether I receive renewal notices from Freenom.
