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:

Welcome gift is hit or miss for Gold members. At the Colorado Springs Radisson is has been a big bag of some local sweets, like chocolate or dried fruit. At the Country Inn and Suites in Portland, they didn't even remember to give me a gift, I had to ask for it, and it was just some cookies.

As a gold I got a fruit plate and 2k bonus points from the hotel in addition to being upgraded to a suite at the Ontario Radisson.
I've stayed at the Park Plaza Soi 18 in BKK about 4 times and have been upgraded to a suite only once, corner deluxe 2 other times. I did not receive any welcome gift.
I've also stayed at a couple in the Orlando and Pennsylvania area where I did not get squat.

Quit knocking my sorta-alma-mater-ish bank (I cut my teeth in banking in one of their previous incarnations)!
These guys on the board are just sore that US Bank refused to play fair when we were relieving The US Mint of its great inventory burden. For some reason the bank was convinced that buying money at cost was a cash advance, or at least should not be rewarded with FlexPerks. The bank receives some good reviews among "regular-joe" customers, but generally does not share the love with our kind.
I will say that I give the bank decent marks for their state of internal controls. which is to say they just ain't my favorite bank.

For anyone considering this card, unless you travel internationally, you really should have a(some) property(ies) in mind. During the Big Night Giveaway, I was extremely underwhelmed by the quality of a dozen + Carlson properties. However, I'm really looking forward to my Blu stay in Berlin this summer.

I am one of those who got 5k instead of 33k
on the Olympics promotion, despite 740 score,
given CL of $7K with stupid white card.
Have 370K Carlson, earned via Giveaway,
at roughly $50-60 per 50K points,
about the same rate as card annual fee here would yield.
I did the fee free 30K/$1K spend ap just to get some.

Got immediate approval for the biz card earlier today, $8.5k limit. Wish I'd read the fine print on points transfers to airline partners though. Mistakenly assumed woud be 1:1 or such and acted a tad impulsively. May not have pulled the trigger had I done better homework upfront.

Congratulations!
How many hard inquiries within the last 6 months and a year and from what credit bureau was the pull?
