Hope this helps.
Since none of these things have happened yet (Asia miles not deducted from my account, credit card not charged, and no e-ticket on MPC), then the 1 year clock hasn't started yet? The 1 year clock could start as late as June (right before my departure date) if the e-ticket appears then, even though I reserved and it was confirmed on Feb 25?
