Really Confused?

My Cabelas statement read, balance $835.00. Payment due 3/26/10. On 3/25/10, I made online payment of $435.00, bringing balance to $395.00. Checking my credit report today, they reported the 435.00 payment and a balance of 501.00. I thought purchases made after statement cut would appear the following month, what am I not understanding?

Not necessarily-- Cabelas may report on a certain day/date of the month, as oposed to the statement date, and they'll report whatever your balance you have on the reporting date.

Yikes!

That's interesting and good to know.

I've never had my Cabela's CRA report differently than the statement balance.  Great , now I'll have to watch and figure out what's up with their reporting dates.  I use this card heavily every month, but it's not the card I allow to report a small balance, so I guess I'll just have to dig in and figure it out.  It's interesting, because my CRA's update within a few days of the statement cut date.

OP - how soon after the statement date did you make the purchase?

Has anyone else had Cabela's report differently than their statement balance?
