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 agree, BOSman. I have the Flex Perks for that reason. Just be aware that US Bank has a tendency to approve you for the lesser card if you apply for the Premier. This happened to me on the Flex Perks. They sent me to white card. I had luck in getting them to switch me to the correct black card I had applied for, but it took some work. I know other FTers were not so lucky.

I haven't seen how much of a "business" US Bank wants for their business card. Not saying the info isn't out there, I just haven't personally researched it yet. Citi can be tight on the definition of a business, and Amex likes to FR sometimes when people apply for a business card. Considering US Bank is tight on approvals depending on your previous inquiries and my score is back up into the 740 range, I'm just going to apply for it first before any other cards. US Bank rarely does instant approvals, so it can be hard to fit into an app cycle. I applied for Flexperks, waited until I was approved, and then did my cycle.

Neither New Account Bonus is available to applicants who have had this Card or another Club Carlson credit card product within the last 12 months. If your Account is not open for at least 6 months, Club Carlson and U.S. Bank reserve the right to deduct the New Account Bonus Gold Points from your Club Carlson account.

Think I will pass. Not that difficult getting 50k CC points. Waiting for the Radisson Big Giveaway which I can pay about $60 per night to earn 50k.
Also, not crazy about U.S Bank even though I don't even own a credit card from them.

can you combine the 4th quarter Radisson® 1 for 1 promotion with "When you redeem Gold Points for 2 or more consecutive Award Nights, your last night is free"?
With the promotion this quarter, I have the "0 point" option for one night in a US Radisson. And if I search for 2 nights, it quotes me a total that corresponds to a regular one night award. Now if I have this credit card, can I get two nights for 0 points?

US Bank Club Carlson Signature Visa Card, 85K Sign up, 40k/yr upon renewal
For those that are not notorious churners and actually sometimes stay in Club Carlson properties, the real benefit is the 2for1 award redemptions that are a benefit of the card.

Applied for Business Visa...
Applied for Business Visa. Got wait 7-10 message. Called 800-236-7546 and talked to Mary. She said ALL business apps go under review process. She said to call back Thursday and I would get my answer.
My credit score is 765 on credit karma and 794 on credit sesame. Been in business 26 years. Have churned lots of cards, both personal and business (hope that doesn't torpedo me). Never applied for US Bank card.
I have 160K CC points from other promos. The way I ran the numbers, you get 50K, then 35K for 2,500 spend, which would yield another 12,5K (5 points per $) for a total bonus of 97,500 points. Plus the buy two get one free. Sounds good to me!
