One of my Amex biz cards is nearly maxed out. I could transfer some of the limit of my other Amex card so that it looks better. It would be the same overall util LOL, but I'm wondering if Amex looks at individual card util.
Also interested in knowing if util is reported to biz bureaus or used in biz scoring, and if so, which bureaus/scores those would be.
Thanks!
Utilization is reported just like on your personal one. The exception being that it won't affect your personal credit scores since your Biz accounts don't report to personal CRAs unless you have TD, Discover, C1 Spark cards, for example.
It will affect your scoring with Experian etc but only until you pay it down and just like with your personal scores, the effect is temporary.
Besides, businesses credit cards are expected to carry a balance, so it's not a big deal. As long as you keep your payments current, don't worry about it. You can claim any and all interest you pay on your taxes too.
P.S Amex will definitely let you know if they're giving you the side-eye about your balances. That's one thing you don't have to fret about 😂
