Can Avios expiration be extended easily?

[milechazzer]

I need to close an Amex Membership Rewards account and I'm contemplating transferring the points to Avios. Under the British Airways rules, it appears that the Avios points expire if there is no account activity for 36 months. Does anyone know if there are any easy earning or spending opportunities in the Avios program that could be used down the road to easily extend their expiration? (like an iTunes purchase to extend United miles)

thanks
