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:

Data Point. Applied as part of my AOR, got the "decision pending" msg, and 2 days later got a denial via email... What was odd was that after I submitted the app, it took less than 1 sec for the "decision pending" page to surface. Usually applying with Chase, Citi, etc, they take 20 or more seconds after I hit submit.
Looks like the saga continues.

Planning to fax in a request to freeze ARS tomorrow prior to an end of month AOR and confirmed with ARS over the phone that their newest address / contact info is:
Advanced Resolution Services, Inc.
5005 Rockside Rd Ste 600
Independence, OH 44131
Phone: 800-392-8911
Fax: 216-615-7642
Also, if anyone's was considering trying to freeze LIR they told me that LIR went out of business so no need to freeze that one.

Wife was approved when I checked today. Had applied & got denied due to ARS excessive inquiries. First attempt on the phone to go past the analysts was shot down. I started talking with the US Bank twitter folks, they told me they forwared my request for manual review onwards. I called the 2nd time the next day and pleaded to get the app manually reviewed, looked at by a pair of eyes and not a computer, outstanding credit record (true), make it my go to card due to new job, blah blah blah. To get rid of me, they told me okay and to call back on Monday. I called the automated line and was approved. Screw Faxing to ARS...be persistent. I did the same for myself and it was much easier, it depends on the person you get!

And yes I would keep it to get the bonus of 50K and be eligible for the bonus award nights. Use it a bit and then apply for the business card in three or four months. Once you get a better Carlson card you can close the platinum.

Quick question on redemption of the free last night:
My family has 6 independent CC accounts and we sometime book one night each for a 4-6 night stay but with only one person staying as you can book under another guest and not the account holder. Did this in NYC, Europe, Atlanta, Dallas etc all last year.
My wife and I just got the CCs and was wondering if we can still do the same with the 1 night free redemption...
so say I book 2 nights for my dad in NYC and my wife book 2 nights for my dad in NYC back to back, therefore costing us only 100K points for 4 nights back to back and redeemed by my dad as the GUEST...
Any one know if there's any restrictions to this or have actually tried it?

SO...
Can this be done:
1) order additional cards (in this case, my dad who uses half my points)
2) when he need the reservation...change profile name on membership name...and book...
Questions:
1) wondering if I can get away with it
2) Say I changed profile now, booked for my dad in the fall...can I change profile back after Fallbooking to book something for myself for the summer?
