@Pangolin you have the gift that keeps on giving!
Did these guys still allowed you to pay their cards with another credit card?
They allowed this for years after accounts had been shut down and long paid off. You could keep making payments to the account and it would just go on the (closed) account as a credit which you could request a refund via bank transfer for. Good way to liquidate limitless Vanilla Mastercard gift cards and generate rewards on the cards that continued to pay rewards on financial transactions.
Now you tell me! I could have done that on my closed IHG!
