Why is the balance due on my business card always shown as $0?
There are TWO account numbers linked to your business card: The card itself, which shows up in the same website account as any personal cards you may have. This will always show a $0 balance due.
There is a SECOND account - labeled the "Central Bill Account" - with its own account number. You must set up a separate website account with its own username and password to access the Central Bill Account. This is the account that will actually show the balance due and let you schedule a payment. Somewhere in the paperwork you received with the card or the first paper invoice, you should be able to find the Central Bill Account's number.

It's good to know that they allowed you to downgrade the card, considering that USB is no longer issuing Radisson cards. I need to keep that in mind when mine renews, although I put $30K on the card this year, so will need to keep the AF card for another year in order to receive the 3 free nights.

Usually keeping the card has nothing to do with keeping points. (Note that I said usually). Spending on the card, does, however. Just suggesting that you check out how to keep points from expiring.

I thought about doing the spend for free nights but the math doesn't work for me. The opportunity cost of $30k at 2% cash-back is $600. I don't think it would cost me $600 to stay 3 nights in a Radisson. YMMV,

Thanks. I did mean I'd use the card every year to keep points alive.
Although the 40k gift pays for the fee, I can't justify "buying" more until I burn a lot. Plus they need to make it a policy that status is always matched between the 2 programs or make it easier.

I have two Radisson cards that are currently not linked to any Radisson account (linked Radisson accounts were converted into Radisson Global leaving cards unlinked). If it matters one is personal and one is business. I've created new Radisson Americas accounts for these cards to be linked to (as instructed via email), but I'm unsure how to actually go about getting them linked now.
Do I need to call US Bank or Radisson to fix this?
Was your business visa successfully linked to your Radisson Americas account after they told you they were submitting your request? If so did it actually take 4-6 weeks?

The specific limitation seems to be that each Radisson account can be linked to at most one Visa card. I just spoke to Radisson Americas and they were able to link my business Visa to the Americas account which was formerly associated to my personal Visa. The personal Visa was cancelled years ago. Or at least, they were able to request that they be linked. Apparently the request now goes to the "person in charge" who may take 4-6 weeks to process it.

Then in late February (12 weeks since my initial request) I got a sternly worded email that due to my inaction my card was not linked to any Radisson account and therefore I would no longer be able to earn points. What an insult. I guess I’ll give it one more try. Thanks for the reminder.

I called back at the 8-week mark and was told the fix is now taking up to 8 weeks. I said it was eight weeks yesterday and the rep said “oh”.

I spent an hour on the phone with Radisson Americas and they were absolutely insistent that I had to contact US Bank. This is despite all the correspondence I've received relating to the change being very clear that I should be contacting Radisson Americas and specifically providing Radisson Americas contact info.
What a horrible program to deal with...

Keep in mind that it’s not just the three nights from the $30k spend, but also 150,000 points from the spend.

Got a letter from US Bank today. The Radisson VISA is dead, long live the Altitude Go Visa.
Details:
Transition to new card in May 2022
Annual Renewal Bonus will be discontinued on April 30, 2022.
New card will have no AF, and the Radisson Rewards AF will be credited back to account on a prorated basis going back 12 months.
Free night ecerts (up to 3) for all net purchases posted to account by April 30 will be posted.
Points earned through the May statement closing date will remain in the Radisson Rewards Americas account and available for redemption.
In June new US Bank Altitude Go Visa cards will be issued. Card number will not change.
---------------
Just checked - I had received my 40k anniversary points mid-March as anticipated. So I guess now I need to research the Altitude rewards program and the Go Visa to see if it's worth keeping it.

My husband received the same letter today. He has a personal Radisson card. I have yet to receive the letter. I have a Radisson business card. I see little point in keeping either card going forward. Let me know should your research find something beneficial.

I got two copies of the letter, and I only have one card, the Radisson business card. I don't know if two copies of the "central account" vs "credit card account" or what, but they were both identical.

I think it will be better to switch to Cash+ instead of Altitude Go.
