Received Capital One and Amazon Visa cards, credit score once cards report?

How likely will these cards boost my score (say in the next three months or less) since my utilization will be lower? The balance has been paid on the other Cap1 card and I'll probably use it again to get my utilization between 1-5% since a FICO expert said that under 10 is good, but some is better than none (which means I'll probably have to carry a very, very, very small balance). The new cards each have $1,000 balance on them, which is $700 more than my mother initially got on her card.

 

Note: On one card, while it appears on my report, I'm only an AU on it while the two new cards are solely mine and will remain so. Thanks!
