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.
Setting up separate website account for business card:

Just a caution... if you get approved online, make sure you click "Accept Offer" on the next page when you get the approval. I got instantly approved for the biz card, and I read the next page too fast and thought the "Accept" or "Decline" was about the balance transfer option that's also discussed on that page (as nothing like that has ever come up on any other online application). So I accidentally hit "Decline" and the application was removed from the system. Called back to see if they could reactivate it; they said no I'd have to apply again. After applying again I got the standard "wait 7-10 days"; now even after getting approved online, I got rejected after submitting the 2nd application.

Did you have to call to get this benefit or did you get automatically recognized as a cardholder after a couple of days?
On a topic I posted about earlier this week, I just got a message back from operations that they have solved the problem related to online account signup after receiving the card. I have just successfully created an account.

On one of the blogs it was mentioned that you have to have enough pts in your account for the 2 night stay if you want to book a 2 night, one night free, stay. But then they only take out 1 nights worth of pts. So, if you want to stay at a 50K property you need to have 100K in your account before you book. This is limiting.
Thanks and Happy Holidays

Also, it's been a couple of weeks since my premier rewards visa account was opened, and my club carlson account still has "RED" status. I called US Bank to inquire, and the customer service rep said she will send a message to the team handling Club Carlson. But so far, no upgrade in status yet.

Final recap:
I received my second denial letter. The first was the auto-rejection by "the computer" based on too many inquiries. The second was the closest US Bank gets to reconsideration, which is to say they told me on the phone they had already set mine aside for manual review before I called. But still rejected for too many inquiries (13 in last 12 mo. total, only 2 on EQ).
But my wife was finally approved! After getting immediately rejected, she had to call to verify it was her applying. Then 3 days later the auto-phone status said approved. (6 inq last 12 mo total, 1 on EQ).
So for those keeping track: the completely not-statistically relevant single sample size threshold is between 6 and 12 inquiries over 12 months.

My wife's account was exactly the same - 57k points in the account allowed booking of 2 nights that would normally be 50k each. I also had to keep trying a dummy booking to see the change. It took 3 days after I heard the approval message on the phone status line. No change in status yet - still Red.
