How to keep Enterprise points alive?
I have about 3500 points, worth about 2 days in rental credits, at Enterprise that expire on 8/26 i.e. in a month from now.
How do I keep them alive beyond that date? Do they have any partners like Dining Rewards where I can make a purchase somewhere and earn Enterprise points to maintain activity in the account? I have no plans to rent a car in the next few months, so getting a rental from Enterprise is not on the cards. Thanks in advance for any suggestion!

Looks like 1 rental every 3 years is the only way to keep them active.

I think this could work; it was at the back of my mind, but I just thought there might be an easier way that involved not spending much. The lowest I'm seeing in my neck of the woods in northern CA is $50 all in for a 1 hour rental. Might be worthwhile to head down to the rental office and talk this through with a manager for a better rate. Spending $25 now could be worth a 2 day rental in the future.

Yes that is what I found out as well after some research. I'll likely go with what the poster below suggested.

Do Enterprise points expire now? I have a bunch of points there and I needed to keep them alive (without renting because I'm unable to). Suggestions, advice to do this?
