Question Best way to keep miles from expiring?

I did a search, but could not find anything useful. Since I a ST flyer, I have little to no knowledge about the AA program
The story is: I got my uncle an AA card since he was flying ZRH-NYC-MIA-UIO return in C-class and with some bonus promos he now has 36k miles ... which are going to expire mid next month. He doesn't have any use for them right now and as far as I understand 'any credit' will keep them from expiring.
Now, here is the problem, he lives in Europe and all the North American earning options do not apply. I thought about transferring some of my e-rewards, but the name has to match
What is the best/cheapest way to keep the miles from expiring?
Thanks for your help!
