Re: Amex Plan It warning.... Read if you plan on using Plan It while still using card!

Yeah, I'm pretty bummed about this, as I used to pay off my entire balance every month right BEFORE balance was officially posted. That way I would have zero balance reported to the credit bureaus. My score kept going up & up.

  NOW they see the Plan It balance AND my entire month's spending every single month.

(Scores took quite a hit)

Guess I've gotta stop using my Amex for normal spending if I want to go back to increasing my scores.

(It was a zero $ 24-month Plan It promotion for some surgery expenses)

I saw this in the fine print, but didn't realize what a PITA it would be.


Or maybe retrain yourself to where you put your finances above scores. 

If scores are that important to you, that can be your only card reporting a balance till plan is satisfied.
