if i leave a balance on my due date ,when do i pay it off in full if the due date has past already, my due date is the 20
also well if iam trying to raise my credit why would you pay it off, that will show you did not use it 0balance, you guys have to explain that if the people want to raise the score the will have to pay interest, now if you dont want to pay interest you need to pay it off in full but you will get no points,
Use the card and pay it down to 0 by every due date, brought me from 542 to a 773
Listen folks, it’s simple. Pay your debts as you agreed to, any date before the due date. Pay all your bills on time every month and your score will be above 700. All the other factors such as credit utilization and age of credits are minor compared to on time payment history.
IT MAY BE MORE CLEAR IF YOU SHOWED A CALENDAR FOR 2 MONTHS & CIRCLE PAYMENT DATE/INTEREST AND REPORT DATE.
what he meant is that lets say you have a credit limit of $1,000 and u have a credit utilzation of 30% meaning $300 youre gonna want to pay $200 before the end of the billing cycle meaning before the 'statement due date' so now ur new balance after that statement due date will be $100 and since its a new billing cycle you can pay the $100 off before payment due date which is different! and its in most cases 3-4 days before the statement due date
I am so used to paying my FULL bills (utilities) before the due date. I think this is were my confusion is. Are you saying in your example using my dates, pay $200 by/before May 1 2024 (because you have to pay at least the minimum) which is the due date, and leave 100 to show utilization for end of cycle date May 5 2024? And pay $100 by/before the next due date? I just feel off having a balance forward. I think that maybe the difference in utility billing and credit card billing that I'm not understanding. Thanks so much.
@@LadybugLuv yes, that’s exactly what I explained! But remember depending on your card you’re going to pay interest if you carry any balance, it may not be much if it’s just 100$ but still!
@@axl6670 Thank you so much! This is the first time I actually understand. You have been very helpful! 🤗
I pay as soon as I get the check to do so. I ain't keeping that money in my account just chilling.
That's s recepie for disaster lol
Credit companies make this more complex than it needs to be😂😂
I autopay the entire balance on the due date and keep my utilization below 6%. My score is well above 800.
FICO is the one that counts. What's your FICO score?
@@georgina4874 840
Good for you big timer
What I’m always curious about is that people, even those I personally know, always refer to “one” score. We know there’s more. There isn’t one definitive score. So, if someone were to ask me mine, I’d say the score, which is the average of the three I know.
@@Stratosmegas I autopay every month but is always shows up as below 6%. I guess it has to do with when the balance is reported to the credit bureau.
I watched several videos on this subject and yours is the only one that left me with a sense of clarity. Thank you.
Finally!!! Someone explained this point with precision!!!
Thank you. I'm trying to build my credit and this was the EASIEST, MOST CLEAR way that due date and statement dates were explained. Thank you for breaking it down at the end. It made things A LOT clearer to me.
This is the video I’ve been looking for. Straight to the point, where I understand. Thanks
I have seen this first hand. I kept my cards at a zero balance for months . Then my score went down and they implied that they weren’t seeing usage . I let $10 on a card an my score bounced back to where I was and then some . Keep all zero but one . I rotate the cards that show a balance
Right. I paid my balance in full and dropped 26 points
This was the best explanation I’ve seen. Thank you!!
Thanks for clearing that due date and closing statement date up!!! First time it ever made sense to me!!!!
This is phenomenal incite and break down. I actually use this same methodology about 2 years now. I under the first bill two days before the end date. And have my auto pay to pay off the balance by the due date. Thanks. I’ve seen my credit increase from 643 to 769.
Thank you so much I’m currently at 601 trying to improve
Making multiple payments throughout the cycle is easiest for me. Do it all from my phone. I have an easy, 15 line, 2 column, Google sheets spreadsheet where I track charges and payments in real time, and also the couple of checks I write monthly, plus when payment clears. I try for 2% or less to post. Plus I pay all bills as soon as they post. I don’t wait for the due date. My scores range from 828 to 850 depending on which one is being used. This is based on the free scores my credit card apps give me.
Great job - explaining! Thanks.
Great content! You know your stuff! I learned a lot! Thanks
Directly to the point. Thanks
you are doing an amazing job. keep it up I understand you clearly
Thank you! You have given me the best explanation about this subject. I will implement this information right away.
Best video I've seen explaining when and how to pay. It's not super complicated like every other video makes it seem. Thank you!
Thanks! It's not complicated but it often causes confusion no matter how I explain it! 🙂
Way too much explanation without explanation....
Gotta be Einstein to understand and follow all these rules
Hey Adam. I appreciate your videos. Thank you!
This is the absolute best explanation of this strategy that I have read or heard so far. Thanks for posting this video.
I thought this was a great explanation, but I can see why it may be confusing if someone doesn't have a lot of background knowledge on how credit cards work. Your video lines up with all of the other reputable resources I've been learning from. You showing your billing statement has helped me understand even more. Thank you!
Thanks, you explained it very well.
2:41 Thank YOU!! I’ve been saying this for years on my channel.. ppl don’t believe me!! Let that 10a% report then pay in full the next day
THANK YOU PROUD MONEY!! Have been looking for this exact info but couldn't find what i was looking for until i saw this video. Thank you for helping me build stronger financial literacy. Statement closing date and due date, in addition to under 10% utilization -is what i couldn't wrap my mind around until your video here. Thanks again!!
These videos are appreciated greatly. I indeed follow your tips. Tremendous help.
Can you please do a similar video on when to pay charge cards?
I just received an Amex Gold card and am new to payment timing on charge cards.
Yes you did explain it good. I truly appreciate your videos. 😊
This was really helpful. thank you!
Thank you so much; this is very helpful.
Thank you for your advice on credit card usage in general.
Thanks for the advice and the insight into other credit card payment questions! Time to make at least a small charge on a card that I paid off.
Thanks! I have a way better understanding of it now. Especially since my due date is the 2nd of every month for 1 of my cc and the statement closes on the 8th.
Thank you for the video. I understand how to manage my credit better now. I have been paying down all my cards multiple times a month so my wife doesn't think we have too much money, but my balanced usually went to zero. Now I'm going to check the statement dates so I have a balance, which of course, will get paid well before the due date.
Very interesting, I have 4 credit cards and I was always told by other channels that it didn’t matter if showed 6-10% utilization on your credit report. I would always pay off my cards, and show 0% utilization. I will try this and see how it will impact my score. Thanks for the info!!!!
Good explanation. Can't wait to try it in April and see if it works!
Thank you ADAM!! It was so simple but the due date and closing date always threw me off and I over thought it. All the due date is, is just the last cycles due date not current cycle. Thank you….I’m gonna go to bed now 😂
Sir, great video. I appreciate the breakdown of when to pay and at what balance to have when closing happens. I've been making a purchase and then paying it off immediately. Always having a 0 balance at closing. I'll now leave 9ish% on the card. Cheers!
Awesome explanation, thank you
Yes. Thank You.
Really found this video helpful. I have seen wild variations of the closing and due dates on different cards and it can be confusing. I do have auto pay set up for one day prior to the payment due dates which helps.
That is good explanation thanks for sharing keep it up good work as always.
Best explanation ever👍🏼
Great video my friend! Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge. God bless you.
Nice simple explanation
Thank you! I wish I knew this before
I needed this explanation. Thanks a lot.
Thank you for great information and in detail
Good explanations!
Great video! Thank you
You said a lot… fast💨
I had to keep rewinding when you were explaining the “due date vs the closing date.” I followed you closely, but for someone looking for a quick answer? They may get lost in the sauce.😂😂
Thank you for the useful info.
Thank you!
I'm going for 90 days with 0% utilization (paid off before statement date) to use as a benchmark. Then I'll just exercise each card, let a low balance post, and pay it off the day it posts.
Thank you for this video
I actually believe and understand everything you said in your video about paying part of the balance to bring it below the 10% mark and then pay the rest off after the new billing cycle starts. But that would be a hassle for me because I have so many credit cards including Discover to American Express a host of Mastercard and Visa‘s Home Depot Lowe’s Sam’s Club and some department stores and a shell Mastercard. Lol it would just be too confusing for me to do that for these cards so I just pay the balance off in full With a few strokes from my cell phone after the charges post to the cards. It’s simpler for me that way. And it doesn’t seem to be hurting my score since it’s 801 now.
Video was very helpful I appreciate it!
These are awesome tips. Great, Keep it up
Thank you so very much, your explanations is a masterpiece wow it is clear and very simple to understand.
Thank you 🙏
Good information, thanks!
GREAT Explanation, I see that my intentions were there by paying OFF my balances as soon as it was visible, but I wasn't really helping myself, because there was nothing to report to the 3 agencies. Darn, well it's not too late to start anew. I am desperately trying to up my credit score and this information is definitely going to help. Thank you.
I'm in the same situation. I put everything on the credit card because it is a citicard Costco visa that gives cash back based on how much you use it. I have no late payments, liens, or anything negative and have a "Good" rating with a score of 710. I was thinking how the heck do people get to 750 or higher! Maybe it is the utilization piece. Definitely worth a try. I already have it on my calendar for 3 days before the billing cycle ends for April...and of course it is on auto pay for "Statement Balance" on the due date.
I maxed out my credit cards and just started paying the credit card with the less amount and min pay on the higher score first month my credit score went up 50 points.
thankyou for this.
I pay down to low utilization of 3% one due date. You don’t have to make two or three or four payments a month just one payment. They report the balance on the close of statement you can look at your statements and look at the end date of the bill that date is your close date. Due date and close of statement dates are different. Close date is when they start to report it to the cras
That was confusing. Or maybe I'm just not grasping it. I wish you could put up an example chart where you can explain it better for dummies like me.

Great vid bro
Thank you, I understood it perfectly. I guess people confuse the billing cycle with the Statement Closing Date.
Yep the terminology does trip people up!
Thanks a million
I pay the bill the day they send the bill. Pay off in full. Credit score is over 800.
I just pay it off a few days before the due date. Score 831
👌🏾👍🏽👍🏽Good information, thanks
Thanks!
Thanks
Explained it perfectly.
Thank you
I’m new to credit but my score is above 700 I studied a lot of video before actually getting a card the best way to pay your card it to pay it off in full before the due date and the day after just make a small payment $5 or less.
Thanks a lot.
This is a great strategy for some extra CR score points! I didn't know it was 1o% of your total balance was the "good" zone. I only did this strategy for large purchases before, to bring my balance down ASAP, so it doesn't ping my CR score.
Multiple payments during the same billing cycle aren't too much of a benefit in most cases because no matter how many payments you make, the credit card company only make 1 report a month to the credit bureaus. The exception that applies to me on that is specific to one card issuer, that being "Chase". On my Chase card, in addition to the normal monthly report, any other payment that takes my balance down to $0 will also be reported. For that reason, I won't use my Chase card to leave to practice the AZEO principle with, but AZEO is a discussion for a different video.
When I got my first real unsecured credit card, I didnt realize that my balance only gets reported on the statement closing date, once per month. So with a $300 limit I was only making one small purchase per week, under $60. Then would wait until the purchase posted to my account so that I could pay it off immediately so that i could use the card for one more small purchase the next week or so after the balance cleared. Oh how naive I was 😂 if i knew what I know now i wouldnt have so obsessive about keeping my balance below 30% at all times throughout the month.
👍🏽got it, thanks
Brother: Thank you for this video 📹! I appreciate it 🙏 Never ever get tired of re explaining especially things as this one because Good teachers Alwats re explain things 😀

THANK YOU FOR CLARIFYING... YOU REALLY MADE MY LIFE MORE BLESSINGS..!!!
This method only matters if your balance is MORE THAN 10% of your credit line on the card. Be sure you even have this issue to fix; you may not be broken🧐
What time of day should you pay the billing cycle, ex 300 PM, 5 pm.
Adam watched your video on when to pay your credit card payment
When you make two payment like what you spoke on ain’t that call
15/2 15 days before then today before the due date .
How many point does your score improve ? I’m trying that now for my Oct 6th payment
Thxz for the ex hint
This was as clear as mud.
So what your saying is to stay under 10% on each card. I think the best thing is to increase your credit. That tends to bring increase my credit score.
How does Apple Card vs Apple installment plan report? I see each a card balance (always under 10% but a balance of barely at 8%. Do i leave a little card use balance to report separately from my installment purchases ?
Wish this stuff were around when younger. Online scores etc....to think you requested a copy of your credit report and mailed in payments
IT WAS AROUND FOR DECADES
Thanks. If you apply for credit increase when all your reports are frozen, will there be any negetuve effect if company rejects your increase request because they are unable to access your file?
Mar 15 to April 14 is due on may 8. and you should pay at least minimum due or better the whole balance so you dont give your hard earned money to the bank( for not interest) and the report to bureau on the closing date THE BEST WAY OF USING CREDIT CARDS IS AS DEBIT
I just subscribed. I didn't get though I got watch the vid again
Depending on how much I spend on my cards depends on if I let the balance report on my statement or if I pay them down a few days before the statement date then pay the balance a few days after. I keep my utilization at 3-6% and this practice has worked very well for me since I started rebuilding 6 yrs ago. Thanks for all the great information and I'm sure it's helped a lot of people. This is one of my favorite channels.
Thanks!

I always paid 2 or 3 days before the due date. Is that good? Please let me know. Thank you.
Can you pay off a charge immediately, as soon as it posts to your account? I find that an online payment isn’t immediately available but curious if you can call it in for an ACH payment.
One thing I really like about Chase is that when an account is paid off, they report mid-cycle updates to the credit bureaus.
WHAT I HATE ABOUT CHASE IS EVERYTHING
