There has been discussion here that the anniversary points are not dependant on paying the fee and you can recieve the points, cancel the card, not pay the fees and keep the points.

Shouldn't WN show expiration date in your Home SWA page?
With all the different programs (not just air, but hotel, etc.) having unique policies, they should at least show the expiration date of points on the Web site - preferably on your Home screen, but at least in the My Account page.

Your last activity date is right there next to your point total on your account page. If you click on the little i next to it, it will tell you that your points will remain as long you earn points once every 24 months.

As I mentioned on a similar thread, I do surveys for RR points, and manage to get one competed about every 3 months.
But yeah, go to the store and buy something every year if you have a large stash of points. Just the way it goes.
