I went to the AAdvantage merchants list, and bought a 79 cent music download from buy.com . I'm wondering if that will be considered account activity and stop the miles from expiring? Thanks.
If you flew once in the past couple of years, your miles wouldn't be expiring. If they are expiring in October, then you last flew almost 3 years ago.

Any deposit or withdrawal to the account will stop them from expiring.
