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.

Does anyone know if this "annual free night cert" (after $10K spending) is only once in the life of the account or it is repetitive each year as long as you satisfy the $10K spending (be it calendar year or not)?
I got mine last year and called in today to find out. I was told by a representative (she went over to check with her supervisor) that it is only once in the life of the account.
Anyone has got their second "annual free night cert"? Thanks!

How cooperative are these guys with application approvals for the business card? I currently have the personal card (have for a couple years, haven't been using it much for the past year after they whacked the free night on all award stays). I was thinking of picking up the business version of the card, too. Wife had the personal card but dumped it last year after the major program downgrade, now we're thinking of getting her the business card.
Basically looking for data points and a sense of how easy/hard they are about getting the business version of the card for those who have/had the personal card...any decent intervals one needs to wait? It has been well over 2 years since I opened my personal card (still open though sock-drawered for at least 6 months until recently). Wife's probably opened around the same time, closed maybe 6 months ago.
Good credit scores/income/etc. and still have the baby CRAs frozen from last time.
Thanks for any insights.

You are incorrect here.
Club Carlson language:
"One Club CarlsonSM Visa® Reward Card Free Night E-Certificate (“E-Cert”) is available per Account if you charged US $10,000 or more in Net Purchases (purchases minus credits and returns) on the Account during the 12-month statement cycle period immediately prior to the annual anniversary of your Account opening date."
This comports with my direct experience. My 10K spend crossed a calendar year and I was awarded the free night 60 days after my anniversary, mid calendar year.
It is anniversary year, and not calendar year.

The free night is based on $10K spend in a CALENDAR YEAR. It is by NO means an anniversary night. Hope you understand that. There is NO TIMING on this. Actually the timing should be, the $10K needs to be met BEFORE the December statement date to be on the safe side. Then the free night would take a minimum of 2 months, if not 3 months, to show up.
Again, it is NOT an anniversary night like other hotel cards - as you may be thinking it as a Hyatt, Marriott or IHG. It does NOT work the same way!
Assume you also know that the Club Carlson free night after spending $10K, is only good for US properties which really DONT mean much as most their US presence is the Motel type and the very low quality Radisson brand, not to be confused with Radisson Blu brand which has only one property in US - the Aqua in Chicago. The other hotel people deem good value to redeem this cert is the Martinique at NYC if that hotel remains in the family, that is.
You may want to check the Club Carlson "Search by Map" function to see if the US properties would fit your travel need before you decide should you want this card.

Can't recall exactly, but I believe I was approved for the business card about 6 months after having been approved for the personal card.

Did you connect both cards to the same Carlson account?

What a ...... bank. One of my Radisson stays was only reimbursed for 5x points instead of 10x. I've tried to call them 3x since last summer to get this fix. They have to transfer the request to their points dept and reply in mail 6 weeks later. They're still not fixing this. Is there any other avenue to pursue this to be taken seriously? I have no problem blowing this up on twitter or facebook.

25 free nights, $7k+ value achieved, mostly from back in the good old vanilla days at CVS. But absent the last night free benefit, this just doesn't seem to be worth it. Still have 200k CC points sitting there.
Not sure what to do. Thinking about canceling. Someone tell me why not? Reminiscing about the good times had, but realistically it was the little rug rat coming along & slowing us Down. Favorite redemption- we'd go to NYC Radison Martinique twice a year. I'd randomly pick dates due to difficulty of that award at times. We're heading over and I realize U2 is playing at Madison Square Garden. Grab tickets and walk over. Fantastic experience. Dinner atop the Marriot, Wicked, Hamilton, Book of Mormon, I could go on and on...
Thanks CC/US Bank.

just used my last 2nd night free
I just used my last 2nd night free reservation that I booked 18 months ago. End of the era for me. Does anyone else still have a 2-for-1 stay still to come?
This was a pretty decent value: 28000 points for 2 nights worth a bit over $300 total.
