    I check my cards every night, even if I have not used them, just to make sure someone else hasn't used them. If I buy something, as soon as it goes from "pending" to posted and shows as a balance, I pay it. No balance, no interest, no fees, no late charges. So, essentially "paying with cash" but getting all the perks and protections of a credit card. Total time, less than five minutes.

    HOW TO CORRECTLY PAY A CREDIT CARD!
    1) Find your due date on your statement. Now that you have it, FORGET IT. NEVER worry about it again, wipe it fron the calendar, it never existed. Due dates are for calculating interest charges on the card only, not for utilization. So it does not matter what the interest rate is on a card since you never pay any as long as you pay your previous statement balance in full.
    2) Now find the statement date, also called closing date or cycle end date. Put that date in big red letters on everything in the house. The kids forehead, calendars, front door glass, bathroom mirror, you get the idea.
    3) Now two days BEFORE that date, pay down your card balance to 1-4% of the card limit. So if you have a $300 limit you need to pay down the balance so there is $3 to $12 left on the card. Leave it with a balance. The credit card will report to the credit bureau that you have 1-4% utilization for that card. This is the BEST percentage for FICO score boost.
    4) Now this step is an important part to remember. Soon as your statement closes and reports, your due date will show the min due in 20 or so days away. This is the date you have to pay by to avoid any interest, but we dont care!. Now 2 days after the statement date, you know the one wrote in big red letters all over the house? Pay the card balance off back to Zero. Now you have already made the min payment due by the due date and avoided any interest charges.
    5) You have eliminated your due date, reported the best utilization, and avoided any interest payments all with in 4 days. Now your card has a zero balance and you can use it as much as you want. You can MAX the card, pay it down again, MAX again, do what ever you like. BUT, look for your next cycle end date and start all over again. Go back to step 2 for that date. Repeat every month. You will never pay interest, can maximize your rewards if it is a rewards card and still get a great FICO boost.
    IF YOU ARE IN MID-CYCLE READ HERE
    Your due date is NEVER before the cycle date. You are seeing the due date from the last cycle date period. You need to pay down to 1-3% or pay down to zero BEFORE your upcoming due date and start the process from the beginning at the next cycle date. If you follow the steps above with a 1-4% balance at your cycle date you will never have to worry about a due date again as you will have a zero balance due on the due date.
    Follow this above it works extremely well. You want to make sure your previous statement balance is paid in full before the due date that way you don't get charged interest. The best time to pay your credit card bill is 2 days after getting your statement that way you have satisfied your credit card bill for the month way before your due date. Then you can go ahead and charge your card up whatever you want and then two days before the statement date bring your current balance down to 1 to 4% of your credit limit. Let that report your new statement balance will be that 1 to 4% that you left. Pay that 2 days after getting your statement. And repeat the same process next month. Oh and you need to be consistent with doing this keep it the about same amount every month.

      So by this standard you’re saying to pay the card off As soon as what ever balance you used posts as long as you don’t have a balance by the due date and then after the due date spend about 1-4% right before my cycle ends so it can show the low credit utilization and repeat everything else all over again?

      ​​@@mssanoraawicker5172 yes... or more. 3 days before the statement date, pay it down at least between 1 and 4 percent of the total credit line limit. Then leave the card alone. 2 days after the statement date when they finally post that little balance, pay the balance in full... taking it down to zero.
      If you're trying to do the points game, you can then use the cards as much as possible, paying it off as many times as you need in the next 20 dats, but 3 days before the statement date again, pay it down to 1, 2, or 3% (almost zero but not quite)... let the statement run, pay it off as soon as the statement runs, and keep playing/ points. The key is to never put a dime on it that you can't pay off instantly. Treat it more like cash than a line of credit.

    • @Muddles178
      @Muddles178 Před rokem +3

      Credit card companies tell credit bureaus what your balance is on one day of the month. This is your utilization. It doesn’t matter if you pay it off at the end of the month. It still counts towards your credit score. The day that they calculate your statement is a different day from when they calculate your utilization.
      There are a couple approaches to getting your utilization down.
      1. Do a budget to get down your spending ( if your limit is $500, this won’t be possible without supplementing debit / cash spending)
      2. Pay off your balance obsessively or at least before your report day so that your spending is invisible
      3. Get your available credit lines high enough that you don’t have to worry about it through asking for credit line increases that you never utilize or by looking at other cards.
      If you see someone with a $30,000 credit line, unless they’re making $500,000+, they aren’t going to be making any plans to use that limit in a month. It’s all so that you have enough headroom to make purchases and still stay under that 7% limit. 30% is typically considered the hard limit before it really effects your score.

      I used to think same. But now I'm 30. Very hard too get an apartment, car, small loan, heck even something from rent a center or whatever. I'd like to start a small business one day soon. Also it is way to protect your money while gaining cash back or points. And maybe open a high yield savings account just saying.

      @Sean ya, i could see that. It is difficult to rent nowadays without good credit. I haven't rented for a long time, and when i did, you just needed income verification..
      The best way I've found to build credit with CCs is to keep your utilization low, i have 3 cards so i put my water bill on 1 card, trash on another etc, then i put them on auto pay and i locked them in my safe to keep myself from using them frivolously , i have 2% utilization and perfect credit score after doing this for about 3 years
