Geeze .. 36 months is sure a lot better than 18 months .. and ANY activity (buying flowers, renting a car, staying in a hotel) would re-set the counter.
You can keep most airline accounts 'alive' by ordering a magazine subscription for a few hundred miles. I've done this with Delta and United. Yes, some airlines are shortening the life of accounts to 2 years or less.
