I cycled my credit limit consistently due to significant business travel expenses. Never late, never paid a cent of interest, and no MS. All was fine for about a year, and then all accounts were closed. I appealed in many forms, but to no avail.
The impression I get from this is that you did it for quite a while. If one does it just for a few months to meet the spend requirement, is it a risk?
