Just checking if anybody has experienced the 18 month inactivity rule being invoked, and los tpoints with Choice?

Any idea what activity could be termed eligible - like a car rental, or maybe points from some other program being transferred into Choice, or maybe a redemption that I can cancel later?

I understand the below conditions, and when I login to my Choice account, it shows points expiring Dec 31, 2012 and I intend to use the points later in the summer with stays but not right now; but I'll be coming up the 18 months mark soon, and don't want the points to be forfeited.

Thanks in advance.

Earning Points

12. Choice Privileges points expire on December 31, two years after the year in which they were deposited into your account unless forfeited or canceled earlier due to membership inactivity or otherwise in accordance to these rules and regulations

Other Terms and Conditions

14. If you have no activity for a period of 18 consecutive months, Choice may remove you from the Program and therefore terminate your account. If Choice removes you from the Program, you will forfeit your points.
