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.

Grrrr.... I'm frustrated. Today I go to CVS to buy a VR Card + a few other things and got declined, and never got to work. The register spit out a receipt for the clerk to call US Bank. The clerk was on the phone with them when I got a text and replied that it was me, but it was still declined a 2nd time. Clerk stated that even through the # she called it wasn't verified. I called the 800 number and told them it was me trying to make the purchase, and they said try again in 5 minutes. I tried again in 5 minutes and got declined again. (maybe I should have waited 10?) She then goes on to say "its the [VR] card, if you bought them before they're probably preventing you from buying again because they think you're doing something illegal" and gives me a look.
The weird thing is I bought my first VR card + a few other items this Sunday with no issue, so I thought it would be smooth from now on. :-( My credit limit is 17k, and I got the card on 10-19-2013, applied with instant approval on 10-8-2013. I might try again tomorrow or later this week.

My first Carlson Business Rewards Visa statement online shows all the spend I made, but has $0.00 for the new balance, as does the web site. There is no information on Gold Points earned like there is on my personal Visa statement. It also states:
THIS IS NOT A BILL
This memo statement only reflects
the current activity on your account.
An invoice has been sent to the
applicable central billing account
for the company.
Thank you.
Should I expect a real invoice in the mail with a balance due or will it be another month before I am billed? I completed the required spend early in the billing period and expected to see the points show up after close.

Did they create a separate Club Carlson account for your business card? I have two Club Carlson accounts and the points from my personal card post to the 1st Club Carlson account and my business card points post to the 2nd Club Carlson account.

Same thing I did, in order to maximize the last night free benefits of cards (as you can stay 2 nights with personal, then stay 2 nights with biz, and only use points for 2 of the 4 nights this way)

All of my spend on this card is MS.

Did you have any late/interest fees because of that? A quick phone call had them waive/refund those for me without even needing to explain why I missed my first payment.

Question on this card - my wife was denied - she called the reconsideration line and the US Bank rep said that an outside company (she listed ARS) does their credit card processing and that it may have been flagged if she had made "numerous" CC applications recently (certainly possible 
)
The US Bank rep suggested that my wife call ARS, but that doesn't seem like that would be fruitful - anyone have experience or advice with this?

Beyond that, I'm going to say this as gently as possible... OP, did you read the wiki? It's almost entirely dedicated to ARS, with links to more info........

It can be overridden. One way is to find a phone rep who is sympathetic, who will write a positive recommendation on your application and have it resubmitted.

. I did read the wiki but did not read the right tone - read it as a "could do" instead of a "should" do. Lesson learned

I don't think a 2nd Carlson account was created -- I recall entering my existing one into the application. Currently they're giving me baloney about it taking 6-8 weeks for points to post. So I'll be calling back in 2 weeks I'm sure.
