⏰ Pay BEFORE your statement closing date

Issuers report your balance on the statement closing date — not the due date. Pay down before the statement closes to control what gets reported. Then pay the remaining statement balance by the due date to avoid interest.

💡 The 30% "rule" is a myth

People with 800+ scores average 4.1% utilization. Under 9% is where real score gains happen. FICO 10T now "remembers" utilization spikes for 24 months, so consistency matters more than ever.
