Only risks are if they change the rules (always possible) or if they don't want to give me a credit card (which I'm going to doubt, since I'm in the process of divesting all my Barclay cards - I think I'll look good to them in about a year).
I'm guessing you didn't have any spend on the MC recently, or else the miles would be safe for 18 mo after then, more than enough for your year of break.
