Buy something cheap through the Marriott portal for shops/online retailers, etc. Usually the airlines & hotels have them, and it's the fastest/cheapest way. I know someone who needed to keep points alive (don't think it was Marriott, but concept/method was the same), and they ordered some pens from Office Depot. Cost him very little, but triggered the activity & kept the points going.
Cheers.
