If you purchase anything on the branded credit card then those points posting keeps the account alive. The car points posting won't but the transaction points tied to the CC will.
As for the 5700 miles that are expiring, just let 'em go. Or buy an award in the winter and hope the flight gets snowed out.
The policy is towards the more restrictive end in the industry but the airline also seems to feel that they are able to compete without being excessively generous with the program and, from what I've gleaned from their financial reports, they seem to be right.
