Best way to reuse letters of recommendation?

It is getting to be that time in the application cycle for me where I am realizing that I will most likely not be accepted. Due to poor stats, I was somehow still given one II at an OOS school but have been placed on hold since. After going through this year's application process, I have learned how strenuous of a process filling out the application can be. I want to make my next application cycle, whether it be next year or the year after, as simple as it can be. I have downloaded the pdf version of my application for my personal statement (if I choose to use the same one), my experiences, and listed dates for everything. The one problem I have are LOR. I was wondering what the best way to keep those as future options? A year from now, I would rather not email a teacher I had sophomore year asking if she kept my LOR. I have heard of people using Interfolio to keep letters for their next cycle, but before paying to use this, I would like to hear others' opinions of it? Any advice on how to make my next cycle as simple as possible is most welcome! Thanks!

Did you use your school's pre-med committee?

My pre-med committee saves them and for all other grad programs, my school's registrar can store LORs indefinitely

1. Email them now, discuss your plans, and politely ask them if they are willing to save the letter to tweak/submit in 6 months
2. ????????
3. Profit

Ill second the Interfolio route. It made the process so much easier, and if you plan to reapply it'll be an order of magnitude more valuable.
