Did the split of Radisson in June 2021 reset expiration date?
In my activity, I only see Points migration balance from June 17, 2021 (when the split occurred). I don`t see the actual earning date (which was earlier than the "migration").
Is June 21, 2021 is the beginning of the 24-month expiration, or how do I find out the expiration now? Also, what is the best way to redeem 18K points for non-stays (for the US program)?

The split didn't reset anything. Making a reservation then cancelling it didn't work either, although it has for some in the past. I had to be persistent in emaiing customer service before I got a non-canned response to my request for my exact points expiration date.
Your can redeem points for gift cards, and there are options to transfer points into airline programs. Both are a poor value compared to using them on stays.

I thought Radisson used to show 24 months activity.
This program has created so much headache that once we are able to use up the balances in Europe 2022, we would give up on it. Meanwhile given the balances we continue to suffer. Sigh.

Does anyone have any idea of the latest re expiration date post merger, and the easiest way to extend in the new system? I can book and cancel an award of course, but no way to see if this works!

I certainly didn’t. The only activity in my Americas account is the transfer out I did in July. In my EMEA account I see the migration as well as the transfer in. According to my records (since Radisson doesn’t display it) the Americas account hadn’t had any activity since mid-2019 so it should have been eligible for the 100-point extension unless transfers count.

I have not tried, but best to do something now before and keep the account alive. I believe you can still buy 1000 points for $7, not great, but is a quick an simple solution. No one knows how Choice will proceed or start the integration into their program, or how the points will convert. Along with that, have you though on transferring to the non US program? Good luck.
