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.

One thing I can't find the answer to...you can only have one CC card at a time (either of the 2 personal cards) but does that include the business card as well? I have the personal sig card, am I eligible for the bonus on the biz card while it is open?

Yes, you can have a personal card and a business card concurrently, using the same SS number, or an SS number and an EIN.

I don't recall anything about this with USB. Any data points on applying for a Carlson Bus card with a brand new business? Because that's the only kind of business I have, and I'm not about to lie on the app.

I know on the AA thread it's recommended to open a AA Bus card with a new, about to start, business. Even if you already have a solid business, it's easier to just apply as 1 employee (yourself), no years in business, no income yet. That way Citi doesn't have any reason to ask you to prove anything.

Well than I'll be the DP. I've had a CC personal card open for 7 months, with $4K spend so far. Applied 4 days ago for a CC Bus card. Applied with 'less than one year in business, zero income, one employee (me), generic retail business'. Got a "we will let you know" message. Then today I see USB has added it to my account page with a $17K CL.

In the past US bank / Club Carlson do not allow more than one CC attached to the Club Carlson account. Wonder is the restriction lifted now.

Oh great, NOW you mention that, lol. I didn't even think of it. So, yea, I used the same club number on my app. I'll let you know if it works.

Try to find if it is possible to check status online - US Bank gives 2 methods, one via a passcode, the other via logging in one's online account.
There is no Passcode sent by US Bank to enable online checking of application status. Even weirder is, using the other method logging into existing US Bank online account (I have the personal card), system said there was no record of recent application / document.

Only one app in the past 6 months, still seems to get an instant denial for the business card which I hope to replace the personal card. After an extensive circling pause got the "You will be notify the decision in 7 to 10 business day" screen. OTOH, it still said "Continue" at the bottom, from there it brought up a BT screen with Continue button at the bottom. Clicked that and it gave the same "You will be notify the decision in 7 to 10 business day" screen again.

I did use the same CC # for the Bus account as I used for the personal CC card I still have open. It shows up on my USB accounts page, and I just got the T/C letter yesterday, but the actual card hasn't arrived yet. I'll post if/when the points post to my CC account, but that will be a little while due to the min spnd.

Thank you!
Just check this morning, the Business Card shows up with 10K CL. The timeline is pretty fast - applied on Tuesday morning, card showed up Thursday morning.
My personal card has 22K CL. Only used it twice in 2017 at 6 months interval to keep the card active. Though in 2016 spent just over $10K to earn a domestic free night cert when there was not much else meaningful to do and we also needed a few award nights in the Baltic where Radisson Blu has large presence.
I wonder if I could move the CL to the Business card if I decide to cancel the personal card.

Downgraded to a no fee card after the program was gutted. Never found any use for the (now expired) free room certs that I received as comp (US ones were useless and Euro one useless for family of 4).
Still have 135k orphan points sitting in my account! Maybe someday I will have occasion to stay at a Radisson Blu in Europe though was not impressed with the London Waterloo property.
