Re: Which Is Better - PIF Or Almost PIF?

The optimal configuration to maximize your FICO is 1% reporting on 1 card and 0 on everything else. There's not much point trying to do this every single month unless you're planning to app.

 

Some banks require at least a $2 balance to report. YMMV.

2% may be better, but makes a minimal difference anyway. Smiley Happy
