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:

I can attest to that as well. Applied Monday, received the 7-10 day message and was fully expecting a rejection letter. To my surprise, I was sent an approval e-mail today. They pulled EQ for me (in CA). 15 inq (2 years), 9 inq (12 months), 4 inq (6 months). 11 new accts in past 12 months.

So I went into a branch to ask about changing my due date. They said the business accounts can have either the 1st or 16th of each month and that's it. Also, they refused to entertain a credit limit increase. I have a $5,000 limit on this Carlson card and an $18,000 limit on my Ink Bold card with other high limit Chase cards. I do have a business and run into the $5,000 limit each month so US Bank is missing out on spend that now goes to Chase. Even with tons of cash in the bank and stellar credit records they could care less.
They said after a year they'll do a review and if I want the limit raised they can do another hard pull. I'm not sure it's worth it though.

The tough part is, US Bank's site does NOT give any information on Available credit at all - so no way to tell unless calling in to ask for the "number".
It really depends on individual's own needs to determine where to put the spend (in order to earn the particular "currency" that would save one's out of pocket cash.) No one answer suits everyone.

35k bonus - primary business holder has to spend $2500?
My statement (after cumulative $2500 spend) closed couple of weeks ago and I still have not received the 35k bonus points. Called customer service and was first given a generic response that I need to wait 4 weeks after 3 month period. When I asked him to check if I had met the spend threshold he says I am about $1000 short because as primary holder of business account I have about $1500 spent. Hmm thats a bummer if true, because none of the other major bank issuers seem to count that way.
Anyone got the 35k bonus on their business card with less than $2500 spent as primary holder?
I also wonder if this primary vs secondary spending distinction is true for their personal card (plan to get one in future).
Also how well does US Bank tolerate $1k charges on AP or at CVS?

The personal account does not show credit line nor available credit as the way other issuers do - AMEX, Citi and Chase all give you that info, not US Bank.
This topic has been discussed at the beginning when this offer came about either on this thread or on the related thread in the Club Carlson forum.
More over, it does not show any pending charges which can take up to 4 or more days to post.
On top of that, there is NO Payment History to be found! Although luckily it does post payment timely.
The Mobil site does show the pending charges and the URL can be accessed via PC. Discussion in the Club Carlson forum's related thread.
In short, US Bank's online banking functions for the credit card side LACK many important features its competitors have.

I felt creative the other day and tried something. Just for reference, this is an interesting sequence:
Book 1&2
Book 4&5
Book 3
Couldn't be more obviously against terms after the fact... but it technically works. YMMV!!

US Bank credit card site is absolutely pathetic. I can't view pending transactions and they take a while to even post the completed transactions. Also, they've yet to credit my payment that was supposedly delivered on 2/27.
