The only way I can think of is look at your account history in your PayPal account or bank account and see when the last TP/VIP payment went through. Then you can just count the months up to this point. VIP lasts six months, TP lasts a year. It can be a bit tedius, especially if you use your account a lot, but you can always put a sticky note on your desktop next time you buy TP/VIP to keep track that way.
