Now that's an achievement to be proud of!

 

While there's nothing wrong with an occasional bump in utilization--we've all been there--your credit scores undoubtedly will improve now that you've reduced your utilization. Keep up the good work!

Congrats on reducing your debt...even if you gained no points (which I'm sure you'll gain something) dropping your utilization is a bonus in an of itself.

Congratulations on decreasing your UT. Yes, it's a wonderful feeling! I only had one card in 2016 -- the NFCU platinum -- when I decreased my UT from 74% to ~5%, my score increased a whopping 27pts. Of course, YMMV depending on other factors in your CR.
