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 got the card in December. Just called today, complained, ask for fee refund, was transferred to supervisor, was offered either 7500 points or I could cancel the account and get the $75 fee back. I took the points. I'll keep the card and pay the fee each year for the 40k points and gold status.

You should have gotten both the 7500 pts and the AF refund because the benefits you signed up for, were drastically reduced shortly after you sign up.
Club Carlson Gold status is near worthless. Upgrade is far and few in between. While some posted they got free brekkies, most people's experiences are zilch recognition. The HHonor Reserve or Surpass give you a really useful HHonors Golds which the breakfast is guaranteed.

I read somewhere that although US bank will ultimately code it as a purchase, they will deny it if the GC amount exceeds your cash advance.
Sorry you missed the bonus. If I got to that point I would perhaps go to my grocery store and buy their gcs, knowing that I would use them. Or buy something returnable/refundable which is a bit dicier; in that case I wait til after bonus posts plus I actually buy something to offset the returnable purchase.

Care to say where you have gotten such recognition? I think we were upgraded once at Radisson Blu Amsterdam to business room but were specifically told that the breakfast came with business room was NOT offered.
NEVER once has free breakfast due to being Gold. In fact, 80% of the time there was NO recognition whatsoever. Our stays are 100% international - Europe and South Africa if that matters.

For me it was so easy to cancel, and everything went exactly as it was mentioned here. So well, at least you got your $75 back.

Told you guys the fee refund might be temporary thing and they will go back to their normal 30 days policy! Glad, I got 40K bonus 10 months ago and 15k bonus and $75 refund recently. Talk to supervisor right away and if they refuse, ask for supervisor's supervisor. If fails, do the CFPB.

That's certainly possible. Either way, anyone wanting to try and recover their annual fee should probably act sooner rather than later. It is gradually becoming harder for people to claim that they find the changes new or surprising. Fairly soon it will actually become reasonable for US Bank to argue that anyone who has kept the card has accepted the new T&C.
