If you really, really want this card: (i) take a break (six months or more) from applying for credit cards and (ii) use your existing US Bank credit card regularly and responsibly.
If those steps don't appeal then you're probably better off forgetting US Bank.

I know that's how the terms are written, but does it happen in practice? For example if a spouse or family member is an additional cardholder on my Club Carlson Visa, I will still pay for both nights when redeeming points if I'm not in the room. I'm in this situation now and deciding whether to use CC points or another hotel.

So my statement with my annual fee and the next statement after have both closed, but I have yet to receive the 40,000 points from either of my accounts. Does anyone have any insight on that?
I do realize the T&C state 6-8 weeks, but what is everyone's experience?
4 Annual Renewal Bonus: Each year that you renew your Account by making at least the minimum payment by the due date printed on the Account statement in which the annual fee is billed, you will receive a Renewal Bonus of 40,000 Gold Points. The Renewal Bonus is awarded based solely on renewal of the business owner’s Account. Please allow 6 to 8 weeks after the payment due date for your Renewal Bonus to appear in your Club Carlson account.

I am really tempted to apply for the CC Business card. On our first stay at a Radisson as a Gold, I was really impressed with how the hotel treated us. Much better than any IHG stay I have had recently.

Can someone answer this for me. Why would anyone get the CC Premier Visa Card when the CC Business Visa comes with apparently the same perks and points (Gold status and bonus points to be earned and annually given upon renewal) and yet the annual fee for the business card is less?
Why choose the higher annual fee Premier Rewards CC Visa?

Just received my Visa Signature card today. However, when trying to setup an online account at US Bank, it keeps giving me the error
"We're sorry. Our system is temporarily unable to display this information. Please try again"
Website issues? Try again tomorrow?

I had the same issue and you will need to call in to have it resolved. Apparently, I had a US Bank Auto loan in the past and that was causing issues with setting up an account for the credit card. It takes about 3 days to resolve.

Same for business and personal.
2% if the foreign transaction is reckoned in US dollars;
3% if in a foreign currency.
I kind of think it will be worth it for 8.72 million pts/$ at a foreign CC, at least.*
