Hanging over my head....

a 3K tuition bill that is overdue.  Whether I use Ritz Chase or CSP, either will bring me over 30% utilization withhout funds to PIF (or I just would have paid the bill with cash).  I'm thinking RC Chase card is better choice but I welcome your opinions.  Please and thank you.

Re: Hanging over my head....

Well, I certainly suggest paying the tuition bill.

I think it's safe to say you can disregard worrying about 30% utilization when you have an overdue bill like this Smiley Happy

Like the first response, use the lowest APR card since you can't PIF, and rewards do not matter when carrying a balance.

Good luck!

Since both cards have samw apr, use the one with highest limit or lowest/ no balance.
