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.
Setting up separate website account for business card:

FINAL UPDATE:
Couple of days ago, the robot said "unable to be approved", so i asked for a non-robot and she dead on pointed that the reason for "unable to be approved" was basically because i had applied to so many cards recently. I've applied to like 15 in last 3 months

US Bank makes it complicated to make payments online. Not user friendly. Their website and policies are different than the rest. You can pay online on time or a few days early but for some weird explanation that makes no sense to me, it will not be credited as on time. So for me, it is pay with paper checks. I never use this card except at Carlson hotels.

To get the free award certificate, you need to spend $10K per year. I'm assuming it's the anniversary year of your card?
For instance, if your anniversary year is 03/01 and you were already charged the annual fee on that day, can I still meet the 10K spend before the end of the month or is it too late? Note that the billing cycle in which the AF was charged hasn't closed yet.
UPDATE: It's $10K spent in the 12 months prior to the card's anniversary:
One Club CarlsonSM Visa® Reward Card Free Night E-Certificate (“E-Cert”) is available per Account if (i) you renew your Account by paying the Annual Fee by the due date printed on the statement in which the Annual Fee is billed, and (ii) you charged US $10,000 or more in Net Purchases (purchases minus credits and returns) on the Account during the 12-month period immediately prior to the statement on which the Annual Fee is billed. You must maintain a current, valid email address in your Club Carlson Account Profile in order to receive your E-Cert. Your E-Cert will be available in your Club Carlson account approximately 6-8 weeks after payment of the annual renewal fee.

CheckFreePay (from WalMart or Serve/Bluebird/Redbird) also works, and is as simple and straightforward as paying any other bill.

Can US Bank confirm when you pass $10k threshold?
I spent just over $10k in my last membership year. I called to ask CS whether I would be getting the annual free night. - Rep seemed clueless - she claimed to be able to look back less than one full year and noted I spent < $10k in that partial year period.
Is there a way to get US Bank to verify that you've met the threshold req't and will get a free night? LISTEN up US Bank.

2-Send SM
3-Do the math yourself, if you are sure you spent more than $10k, just wait 60 days after statement periods ends and you should get certificate by email, also viewable in your CC account.
4- If you do not get it, file a complaint with CFPB against USBANK: http://www.consumerfinance.gov/
5- You will get back a response from Office of the President in 48 hours.
I recommend patience, I think US Bank is incompetent, not ill willed.

I SM'd US Bank in clear language, stating the exact amount I spent in last 12 months. They shot me a generic reply telling me to spend $10k to get the free night.
I give up in the face of such stupidity!
Will wait and see. If I don't get the free night, I'll call them up and get one, just like all of you freeloaders who haven't spent a dime on this card.
But then what's the point of setting a $10k threshold?

The email replies from US Bank are the most moronic crap I have ever seen. Makes the IHG Rewards guys look respectable, wow!
