Guessing you were at 30 or 20% util before and went below 10% utilization thus the score boost?  Correct me if I am wrong..  My EQ/EX is at 13%.. Tempted to get a new card to lower it as I cant lower it by paying it down.. CO account thus stuck with that reporting.... Catch 22... I can pay it but it will kill my fico or hope it falls off in a few years...Thus apply and get another 10k line and drop my utilization below 10% for a score boost, not as big as yours but guessing 20 points.

Awesome! I only have 1 store card right now. I'm hoping when my new cards report, I have a similar jump! Congrats!
