Keep, Cancel or Convert? US Bank Radisson Rewards Business Credit Card ($60 Annual Fee)

Share this post

Good morning everyone, I hope you had a great weekend.  As part of my “Keep, Cancel or Convert?” series, I like to evaluate and reevaluate credit cards to make sure they still deserve a spot in my wallet (or credit card drawer). For today’s post, I will review my US Bank Radisson Rewards Business Credit Card (no longer available to new cardholders) which just charged me the $60 annual fee.  The only reason I keep this credit card year after year is the 40,000 anniversary Radisson Rewards Points.  I am basically buying 40,000 Radisson Rewards Points for $60, which is 0.15 cents per point (CPP).  I probably value Radisson Rewards Points at 0.4-0.5 CPP, so I have no problem paying the annual fee every year.

Even though I planned on keeping this credit card, I called US Bank to ask if there were any retention offers available.  After reviewing my account, the rep first said she could cut my interest rate in half.  I politely declined that offer and said last year I was offered Radisson Rewards Points to keep the credit card open – was that offer still available?  The rep said yes, but it was only for 2,500 Radisson Rewards Points.  I told her that was better than nothing and accepted the offer.  The rep said I should see the 2,500 Radisson Rewards Points on my next statement.

Even though the 40,000 anniversary Radisson Rewards Points haven’t posted, I went to my account and looked back 12 months.  It looks like the anniversary points posted in September 2018, so I need to wait another month for my next round of anniversary points to post.  Since I have 3 Radisson Rewards credit cards, I have 3 different Radisson Rewards accounts.  I like to move all the Radisson Rewards Points into 1 account to make redemptions easier.  You can move Radisson Rewards Points for free, just call Radisson Rewards.  The transfers are instant.

      I’ve had these 3 US Bank CCs for several years. US Bank was easy for me to get a few CCs. Besides those 3 Radisson Rewards CCs, I also have a Cash Plus CC and Altitude Reserve CC.
