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.

The possibility of multiple free certs with $10K spend does sweeten the pie for higher spend thresholds if you have any use at all for the domestic certs. I've somehow used every cert they've issued me, against all odds, since our domestic travel menu is limited. Like @RobertHanson, we use the standard points awards in Europe with good results.

Yes, now that the program has been revamped and the improvement is only additional domestic certs, I'd say it doesn't look likely that a worldwide certificate will be offered. I think they still are stinging from the gleeful use of that amazing 2nd night free, RIP.

I you already had a certificate, I presume you'd try to use it up (rather than throw it away)? There must be "decent enough" non-aspirational properties to "use up" a certificate on if you happen to have one (just to save some money on one hotel night where you're not doing much at the hotel anyway)?
So I presume what you actually meant was that you've never bothered to pursue earning a certificate?

If we had business travel it would be different, but we don't, and are aren't about to waste a day of vacation travel in a cheap hotel just because we have a certificate for it.

I meant we do strictly aspirational travel, and have never found a use tor the domestic certificate, so it just expires unused. Pretty much the same story with the Marriott certificates. In the past we used them in airport hotels, but then all of those moved up from 4 to 6.

Anyway, do you know that there are no Radisson Rewards hotels worth staying at for you, or are you just assuming? There are handful of new-build Radisson Blu hotel in the US that might be quite good, but if you assume that everything in this program in the USA is trash, you'll never find the exceptions.
And Country Inn & Suites are not all "cheap" IMHO! (Some I avoid only because they're too expensive!) So do you dismiss all hotels without a restaurant as a matter of course, or do you evaluate whether any of the are good enough for a one-night stay (where you are not spending much time in the hotel), say, in the middle of a road trip to that "aspirational" destination?

I doubt it'll happen any time soon. US Bank got faced with another program name change months earlier (LANPASS to LATAMPASS), and they never sent out replacement cards for those (for people whose cards were still good for a long time). So if they didn't to it there, I don't see why they'd rush to do it here.

You know what you do when you assume, right, and I'd say presuming is about the same. No, I didn't mean that. I meant we do strictly aspirational travel, and have never found a use tor the domestic certificate, so it just expires unused. Pretty much the same story with the Marriott certificates. In the past we used them in airport hotels, but then all of those moved up from 4 to 6. Besides which, we haven't done any of those stay somewhere crummy before an early morning flight trips lately. Doesn't matter so much now that we can't even get Marriott personal cards anymore, due to 5/24.

Where is it documented on them being transferable (and the procedure)? I tried to search to see if they were (to suggest the same thing to RobertHanson), but couldn't find anything.

They're transferable. I used one from my account to book a night on my wife's account. Also if you cancel the code will be valid again too.

I don't think it is documented or there is any procedure, but it is possible. I have done this with all the annual certificates I have, the Friday night ones, etc. All to my account since I am concierge and can get the breakfast.

I browsed through the last several pages of this thread and others, still I did not see the answer:
How quickly do the 50,000 bonus points after 1st purchase post? F.e. after the first statement closes? Is it possible to move the statement date if necessary, to make the points post sooner?
While I found a special thread about when the 40000 annual card renewal bonus posts, I did not find anything about when the initial sign-up bonus posts.
In case anyone has any data points on the point posting procedure with Radisson and US Bank, I'd really appreciate to hear about it.
In case it might help anyone else: I applied for the Radisson (formerly Club Carlson) Premier top of the line personal credit card, without freezing my credit report, and was initially declined. They I called to reconsider, and they said I would hear their decision through a letter send in the mail. That letter arrived today, and it seems they actually approved me for the mid-tier card ($50 annual fee). Also that card comes with 50,000 points after 1st purchase.
Today, I got the card agreement in the mail, I did not receive the actual card yet. Still, I would love to know how quickly it is possible to receive the points, in order to be able to use them to book award nights.
While I am not surprised that US Bank initially declined me, due to about 5 personal credit cards and 5 business cards opened in the last about 14 months, I was surprised that they only approved me for the mid-tier card, despite a 740 score, always paying everything on time, and Chase and Amex approving me for their top-tier cards. I guess I can try for the Radisson business credit card in 6 months, maybe they'll approve me for that... ;-)

Without creating another thread, some of us received special offer,
radissonvisaoffers.com
Use your card for purchase from August 1 through Sept 20, 2018, once you spend $1100 in net purchases during the promotion period, additional net purchases will earn 1 bonus point per dollar spent up to 5000 points.
I must say I'm amused, you'll earn at most 5000 points, I have bigger priority now to fulfill spend (WF Propel) as well as better return for traveling (Citi TYP).
