I can easily live without it but I already have it and the offers they sometimes come out with are nice.
My recurring $10 monthly donation to the local NPR station on my Zync has kept it open for close to two years now and I'm not expecting any trouble in the future either. Haven't played with my check spending on it though, possible that's severely shrunken.
BCP hasn't gotten much either in the past year as my most recent grocery-like transactions don't trigger the bonus categories, but no problem there either with very sporadic spending on it. You should be fine.
Rev...omg...I like you even more now than before now that I know you give to NPR
I listen to NPR lol
These all work, but I had a problem doing this. I had a recurring monthly charge ($6 magazine subscription) and after about 14 months, I used the card to buy $50 worth of stuff from AutoZone, and it was denied for "unusual spending" and I had to call in and get it approved. So I mean someeetthhhingggg goes on behind the scenes, but not closing the card.

Right back atcha Pizza! My commute isn't much fun but NPR improves it massively, and some of their programs are downright awesome. May be geek radio, but it is most excellent.
