Alright WalMart, do your worst

So based on some things I've seen 'round these parts, GE/Walmart likes to do mid-cycle reporting, especially after the **bleep** to actually show as a balance, so I paid it off today, and now have to wait another potential 48 hours for the payment to post.  Crossing my fingers it doesn't report.  My tiny little credit limit can't handle it!

Less than 1%, but if it reported the balance before the payment posts, it would put me at 11%.  My total CL is ~3550

Unless you are seeking new credit, then I would not sweat a 11% util, as it will update at the end of the month.
