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.

I applied and got instant approval (!!!). I plan on applying for a few more cards (3 or 4) but have read on here that it may be good to wait a little while because US Bank sometimes rechecks your credit and denies you if they see a lot of recent inquiries. Any recommendation on how long I should wait? ...I don't want the new pull from US Bank to prevent me from getting approved for any other cards.

Sorry, before applying I have
For accounts:
5 new accounts in the last 12 months
2 accounts less than 6 months old
No accounts less than 3 months
For inquiries:
2 on TU and 3 on EXP in last 12 months
1 inquiry on both TU and EXP in last 6 months
None in last 3 months
After typing that out I realize I'm better off than I thought. I was real conservative for a while cause I wanted to make sure I got approved for this card. Now that I'm approved I just don't want to jinx myself. All my CC's are less than 2 years old so I don't have a long credit history in my favor (though I have a loan that goes back 5 years).

It is probably better to cancel and recreate the reservation assuming availability is there. I suggest calling Club Carlson reservations.

But I ask because it's a popular destination in peak season, and I'd like to lock in my nights now when it's available. I figured someone may have experience with this situation.

The email I sent:
I recently completed an award stay at the
Radisson Blu Champs Elysees in Paris, confirmation number [....]. I booked
the stay prior to having the Club Carlson Visa Business credit card, but
the stay occurred after I received it.
No one was able to adjust my reservation to make my last night free.
While the hotel still had standard rooms available to book, it showed no
50,000 point award nights available, so I didn't want to cancel my
reservation and rebook it due to the chance that it wouldn't let me get
those nights again on points. I tried emailing and calling customer
service and no one was able to help.
Since I was entitled to my last night free due to having the credit
card, would it be possible to have a 50,000 point adjustment added to my
account?

Makes sense. Also pls keep in mind that the free last night is available on your CC account within 1-2 of card activation. However it may not be available online. You have to call CC reservations in order to get it.

I already have the Club Carlson card....today I received a promo in the mail that said I would receive 2 bonus points (total 7X) for all "purchases made at gas stations." I called customer service and asked only gasoline or any purchase at a gas station. She said only gasoline. Was wondering if anyone else received this promo?

I just got the Club C card and did not get this offer (yet). But, have to wonder if the rep was correct because I understand that what counts is how the retailer is coded as to merchant type by Visa, MC and AX.
In other words, any purchase at a gas station should get you the bonus.
Give it a shot and let us know what happens.

My husband also received the promo in the mail. He got his card 3/9/13, met the spend and never used it again.
One last thing, the T&C of the promo say the bonus points (2X) for purchases at gas stations are posted 10-12 weeks AFTER the promotional period ends on 12/31/13...so it's not like I can even test whether gas only or all gas station purchases are included in the promo.

Snagged by ADS/IDA
I got turned down (my only denial among 4 cards applied for yesterday), probably because of the ADS/IDA nonsense. So if I freeze my information now and approach US Bank in say a couple of weeks after also re-matching to CC Gold status, are they likely to approve it, if so would another hard pull be involved? (Most banks don't do another hard pull within 30 days of an application)

The disclaimer says that this is dependent on how a merchant code itself. Personally, though, I'd just expect it for gasoline only.
