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:

My husband got this offer a few weeks ago and we applied online:
50K gold points after 1st use
35K gold points after $2500 spend within 90 days
40K renewal at renewal
No annual fee 1st year $75 after 1st year.
Today, he got a card agreement in the mail (no card) that states the interest rate, etc and it states that the annual membership fee is $75. No where on this form does it mention that the 1st year is free. The prescreened offer that he got in the mail clearly says that the first year is free. Should we be worried?
Thanks!

You pretty much answered your own question in another thread a few hours before posting this: the retention bonus is 40,000 Club Carlson points and it's there for everyone, repeatable every year, no need to ask.

Search this thread you would see many of us wondered when was the 40K post - it was in the 2nd billing cycle after PAYING the AF.
Oh, and that is even specified in the T&Cs which many do not read.
Note, the earlier you PAY the AF, the earlier the 40K posted.
This should give you enough information to make your decision. US Bank is not Citi. Suffice to say.

By the way, you might want to look at the business card offer too because, while it has an annual fee from the get go it gives you lots more points and Gold Status. I got that one too and plan to cancel the personal card when the fee comes up, keep the business card for the two for one deal.

I used to have personal card which gave me silver status, i cancelled the card earlier this year before annual fees was posted. I applied and approved for business card 3 months back, all the bonus points from spending has been posted but I am still silver member. Do I néed to make a call? To whom? Club Carlson or us bank? Business card gives you a gold unlike their different personal cards.

Points that have reached Club Carlson do not get clawed back if the card is cancelled. They become subject to the standard rules -- no expiry of points in active accounts, but accounts with 24 months of inactivity may be closed.

Just applied for the Premier and got instant approval. Called the recon line and the application status says approved as well.
I have read multiple reports of denials after instant approval, so I guess the online instant approval message means nothing. Is the phone approval message unreliable as well?
