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:

Anyone else? Just trying to see if it's worth dealing with US Bank.

I am concerned that US Bank may pull the same stunt as their Olympics promo.
There they would advertise "the premier" card but would approve "the basic" card.
I am hoping that fellow FT can inform us which card they got.
The basic Club Carlson credit card has a miserable sign up bonus compared to the Premier card.

Experience applying for us bank cards
I haven't applied for Carlson card yet but wanted to post my experiences this year applying for lanpass visas through us bank.
In may I applied for the visa signature lanpass card. I got a "pending" and later a denial letter, but called in and eventually got approved for the regular visa with smaller sign up bonus instead with a $1000 CL.
In November, I applied agan for he visa signature lanpass card. Again I did not get instant approval. Called in. Got another visa (non signature) with a $1500 CL and a second sign up bonus. Within about a week, they swapped out the second visa for a signature.
I have excellent credit.
I think a lot of people dislike us bank because it is a lot more work to get approved and you get tiny credit limits, plus they approve you for a lower card than you applied for.

Country Inn & Suites- no gift-when asked for one, told no gift
Radisson: Bag gift with water bottle,chips, chocolate,mints
Park Inn: Same as Radisson.
Somewhat odd but better than nothing.....................
