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.

oh dear...
Just applied this card a few days ago. When can I expect the sign bonus points to credit? Assuming I can spend $2500 in day 1 after I get the card. I want it before 5/28 to book.
And any body knows how the $10000 counts, from 6/1 to anniversary or a billing year?

It's a little ridiculous that while they've now taken any mention of the Bonus Award Nights off the landing page at www.clubcarlsonvisa.com, it's still mentioned as a benefit in the individual card descriptions!

I called today and asked for a full or prorated refund of the annual fee because of the devaluation. The rep offered nothing. Then I asked if there was anything else she could do and she promptly offered 2500 bonus points. Since I had already paid the AF, I took it. Call was less than 5 minutes.

Just called 3 times in a row. The first call I got an agent who was borderline rude. She said one sentence to me: "You know, we reserve the right to change any of the benefits at any time." Then silence. I was a bit incredulous. After challenging her and receiving more pushback, I hung up and called again. 2nd agent was a bit more friendly, but still absolutely wouldn't budge. Blamed the whole thing on Club Carlson and repeatedly suggested that I call them instead to air my grievances. Hung up again. 3rd time got a super friendly agent (I could immediately tell). Told her my situation and asked if there was anything she could do with the annual fee. She said she could take a look and then offered a refund of the fee that I paid in December.
I have the Club Carlson Business Visa, with $60 annual fee. I've had this card for over 2 years now, and make pretty consistent (but low) spend on it... around $3k-$5k per year.

Cape Town's property is in a very good location. No elite recognition whatsoever but that is the norm of CC properties. Room is on the small side but with clean line decor it is bright and pleasant. We were given a room on the 1st floor with 2 sides of window - one side facing the parking outside but the other side facing the small marina adjacent to the hotel. So that was nicer than having rooms straightly facing the parking / street.

I just applied for a Club Carlson Business Card Version to take advantage of 85K points before June 1 and got 7-10 business days notification. I have a personal card I applied 2 years ago. I have 8 inquiries for the past 12 months. I hope I was approved so I could cancel the personal card as the annual fees for the business card is cheaper.

When we were there, we finished our Garden Route one day early. Tried to find a place from Camps Bay and up. Every place we tried was sold out. When we checked with Radisson and were ready to pay the usual $200 a night rate, followed by our 2x2 award nights. The general manager told us the hotel was sold out but a couple superior rooms, at $460 a night (5530 rand + taxes)... we found out we happened to be in town at a period where there was some Art and Design week (2/26 to 3/01). Our awards started on 2/28, right in the middle of the Art and Design Week.
The price quoted was too much so we back tracked Eastward to Strand / Gordon Bay area for that night.

Lucky you. We happened to be in town at a period where there was some Art and Design week (2/26 to 3/01) that basically even the superior room went for $500 a night and only a few left. Every lodging option within 20 miles were sold out. We arrived a day earlier and were ready to pay the normal $200 rate for that extra night but the price quoted was too much so we back tracked to Strand / Gorden Bay area for that night.

Interesting. We arrived the next day in mid afternoon. Took them a lot of typing to find us a room. I asked if there was any type of upgrade, were told no, you booked standard room, so that would be standard room.

We almost always got a room upgrade when we stayed at Club Carlson Properties (Radisson, Radisson Blu, Park Inn) with our only Gold status.
