Do Revolut hold the balance in USD or GBP? If the latter, then I hope you didn't keep much on the card.
Fortunately it's been held in USD this entire time.

Thinking about it some more, Revolut handled the shutdown of non-EU cardholders in the worst possible manner. If they really didn't want those customers anymore, they should have just said so from the beginning (and given, say, 60 days to deplete their balances before shutting down cards/accounts). Not gradually shut down various critical features until people "got the picture".
