I mostly only stay with Radisson in Scandinavia (and very occasionally in other European countries) so it's not unusual to go a year or two without a stay, and then have a cluster of several stays. The US Bank card was a nice way to keep the points alive and keep earning in between stays. More than once, the points balance and Gold status was a tie-breaker to stay at a Radisson instead of a Scandic when the properties were comparable.
