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:

I've decided to pull the trigger and apply for this card. I am not currently a Club Carlson member. Does US Bank automatically sign you up for Club Carlson when you apply for this card, or do I need to do that before applying for the CC Visa? Would appreciate confirmation from someone who signed up for the credit card and was automatically enrolled.
This way you can add the number on the application form, and your card arrives with the number on the card - you can make sure the points would post correctly to your account.
Why would anyone wants to skip the enrollment process and prefer the bank to take its sweet time to send your information over to the loyalty program to enroll you, and then you wait for your number to come... which could take a month or two...

UGH....Applied for the Club Carlson Card last Saturday. Not immediately approved. Called the line to see if they need any further information. They said to call back on Wednesday. On Wednesday, application was still pending. Called today. Application denied!!! The customer service agent said that the company they use to screen applicants could not verify some of the information on my application. Gave me a number to call the company. CLosed on Saturday. But said I would have to reapply. There's not that much to verify....I have worked for the same company for 20 years, lived in the same address for 16, have excellent credit???? If I reapply that will be another hit to my credit. Should I just scrap this card? Any suggestions/recommendations?

If you a churner don't apply
This is one of these card companies that will deny you if you have too many recent inquires. Both my wife and I applied and both were denied. Both have 790+ credit scores and our mortgage is with USBank They use an outside agency and I got a copy of that report and nothing out of the ordinary except that I apply for a lot of cards.

Maybe I'll just stick with Hyatt and Hilton..

If you have a banking relationship with DCU, they give you a free, actual FICO score from EQ every month. I'm fortunate that they are my local bank as well, I had them before they started doing the free credit score for members.

Just thought I'd add my experience with this card. I applied today for the Business version (US Bank Club Carlson Business Rewards). I decided to do the business version because the annual fee is less. I got immediately approved, which I was surprised by after having read some of other people's experiences here. I checked carefully and I was approved for the same version of the card I applied for. I didn't have to call the reconsideration line to verify my business info like I've had to with other cards. The instant approval gave me a credit limit of 1k, although when I applied for my citi business card I was also given a 1k credit limit, but when I got the card it was actually 10k. So I'm going to wait to get the card before calling to try to increase it (although a 1k limit would still allow me to get the bonus).
I've opened about 6 credit cards in the last 6 months and have a credit score of 760ish.

Instant approval for Premier
My husband was instantly approved for the Premier card. He had 4 personal and 3 business cards in the past year but no applications in the past 6 months. I didn't apply yet because I've had other applications in the past 3 and 6 months and the reports on this thread make me cautious.

My spouse got the 7 to 10 day "manual" review
Here is another unusual datapoint.
My spouse has the US Bank Flex Rewards card basic with a low limit (approved in Aug 12).
She also applied to a Chase product in December.
No other inquiries in the past 6 months.
She is a homemaker (760+ score).
I am the joint account applicant (the guarantor) with a low 700s score.
I already have the Club Carlson Visa (Dec 12).
She got the 7 to 10 day message and after she called US Bank said that the application needs a manual review.
I wonder what the outcome would be.
I will report it here.

For those of you who have received the card and did NOT have a Club Carlson account prior to applying for it, did the card come with a Club Carlson account number printed on it? Or do you have to manually sign up and link it to the credit card?

Or do you want to leave this up to the US Bank to apply a Club Carlson account for you and wait for that to attach to your account while you dont have any way of knowing until being informed either by Club Carlson (most likely) or by the bank (probably never happens )?
Your choice.
