How to keep Avios Points

I have over 100,000 avios miles from when I had a B.A. credit card. My main travel is between New York and Brasil, and I had hoped to use these miles on B.A.'s American Airlines partner. So far no luck, never any seats available for me. These miles will expire unless I figure out a transaction that will extend their life. Looking at the site, I can't find anything like magazine purchase, etc.

Any suggestions?

Would buying a minimum number of Avios points from their site extend the expiration date?

Big thanks for your help.

You can use the BA e-shop, the link is inside of the Executive Club section.

Yes - this would extend the life of your Avios by a further 36 months

yes buying avios would also work but min spend is approx $50 so eStore a better option unless you actually need a few more avios for your targetted flights?

You can buy something for $1 from ebay, through the eStore. This will work if you have a month or so before expiration. If not, better buy miles to be sure.
