Perhaps US Bank was aware of the upcoming sale and didn’t want to renew just to then have to re-negotiate with the new owners? Or Radisson thought it was easier to sell the company without a long term credit card contract (not sure what typical cancellation clauses are).

In other news, no AF refund yet. My statement should close tomorrow or Saturday.
