Yes, I had 2 Commenity Bank cards IIB.
Walmart store card is not with Chase, it is with GE Money/Synchrony Bank, so is Amazon and Lowe's.
I IIB an old Walmart, Amazon and Care Credit card theough GE Money/Synchrony Bank.
GE Money is now Synchrony Bank.
My average total utilization is 10-12%, my highest ever utilzation since BK was 17% and my current and lowest is 1%.
I have never had more than 20% utilization report for any single card and normally report at 0-10%, however, Barclay's reports at 20% because I am trying to follow the guideline I read to get a CLI and they like balances of about 20%.
Now as far as actual utilization vs reporting utilization, I put through an average of 25-100+% of my CL for each card every month but I make multipe payments and never allow my balance to go over 25% at any given time. I want to show the CC companies that I can handle a higher credit limit but I make multiple payments m onth to ensure I never have more than 25% of my CL charged at any time.
It may not be the right way, but it has worked for me. ![]()
Oops. I hit GE bank hard, I'll probably never get a card there again.
I had $200 ebay credit (IIB)
I had $700 amazon credit (IIB)
I had $150 walmart credit (IIB)
yeah.. If I had a chance to redo that, I would have just opened the amazon credit and kept that.
