US Bank Reconsideration Line: 800-947-1444
Use this phone number to check your application status as well. US Bank does not send you an approval/denial email. Many data points show 8-10 business days for decision is normal. Add another 2-3 weeks after that to receive physical card.

U.S. Bank Fraud Department - 800-260-8469. This is the number to call if your card starts getting declined when you try to make a purchase.

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:

These are the instructions that US Bank emailed me:

To enroll in Online Banking for your U.S. Bank Business account, start by going to usbank.com. You do not need a Personal Identification Number (PIN) in order to enroll.

Please follow these instructions to enroll in Online Banking to view or pay your account:

4. Select I do not have a U.S. Bank small business checking or savings account.
5. Select I am an authorized officer of a U.S. Bank Business Credit Card.
6. Complete Step 2 of 2.

Once you have successfully logged in, you will be able to view your business account in its entirety. When you are making a payment you will need to select the Accounts Payable account number.

Until the end of May 2015: "Bonus Award Night - Redeem Gold Points for two or more consecutive Award Nights and the last night is free. Exclusively for cardmembers.

From June 1 2015: free night after $10,000 spend in a year plus payment of annual fee. Note: can only be used in the U.S.

I got the Lifemiles Visa approved instantly back in Oct with 11k credit line (way more than I need). I plan on keeping the card for the annual bonus.

I want to do an app-o-rama in the next couple of weeks and include the non-Premier Visa ($50 annual fee one). Any data with people having 2 US Bank cards? What about shifting credit lines like Chase does?

Last year I got only 3 new cards:

March-CSP
Oct-BA Visa, Lifemiles Visa

So if the "Bonus Award Nights Redeemed" category is at the bottom of my Club Carlson My Account page, I should be approved? Never did notice if it was on there before, but definitely there now. I will take that as a positive sign and that my new credit card is on its way.

I applied Friday and I called this morning. The CSR said something triggered the application for "further review." Probably too many inquiries. He said call back Wed or Thurs.

Wonderful... I did receive the T&C last week on Monday. Can't believe how long this is taking when I got my Chase and Citi cards Dec 31st. All were approved Dec 21st.

Yup - that's my personal take anyway. My wife had those magic little words appear on her account page, but they never did on mine and I was eventually declined.

Would you mind sharing how many inquiries you have in the last 6 months prior to applying for this card? I see that earlier you mentioned you had 13 inquiries in the blast 12 months.

I was approved instantly Jan 7. The t & c letter arrived today, but no card. So annoying they do it this way.

Did you actually speak to a live representative or did the automated system itself inform you that your application in its final steps?

This may be a stupid question but if I use this card to book a room in Europe (paid in euros) I will be hit with the 3% foreign transaction fee correct? If this is the case I might as well just use my chase sapphire card.

Correct. The fee is clearly stated in the T&Cs that you should at least read it once.

Jeez, 10 days from approval and you've already got the card? Where do you live, and what was the return address for the envelope with the card?

I'm in Los Angeles. Actually received 3 letters; 1 letter outlining my credit pull/score from Experian, another letter outlining the T&C (with return address from Fargo, ND), and the 3rd letter being the card. And the letter with the card, it states issue date as 01/10/13.

Inquiries within six and twelve months, respectively

I'll admit it. After many successful applications to other card issuers, US Bank has me spooked. It started in August when I got declined (after a long procedure) for the FlexPoints card. I was told the reason was too many inquiries. I've specifically held off on applying for cards for five months (a test of willpower). If I wait one more month, I will have 0 inquiries in the last six months, but seven inquiries in the last twelve months. What's the general consensus of how US Bank looks at these two periods? My CreditKarma score is 770, and I have a perfect on-time payment record with low (5%) utilization. Carlsson is my hotel chain of choice, and I got the email invitation to apply for the Visa.
On a different note, does anyone know whether US Bank does two hard pulls if I apply for both the personal and the business card?
