Changing the Due Date on Cards

When you change the due date on your card does the reporting date change as well?  I am trying to get all my cards to report around the same time.  I can change the due date but I'm not sure if the reporting date will stay the same.

It's bank dependent. Which bank?

Re: Changing the Due Date on Cards

I'm going to change my chase freedom flex and my amazon prime store card due dates.  Hoping the report date will change if you guys know about these two cards in this situation.

Re: Changing the Due Date on Cards

This is Bank specific, and CU usually have specific date for everyone.

My Chase statements close 3 days after due date. Examples; Amazon is due on 14th, and closes 17th, CFU is due on 12th, and statement closes 15th. Chase reports on the closing date.

You have two interesting lenders for different reasons.

 

1) Chase. There is nothing more certain than death, taxes, and Chase cards reporting on a statement closing date. The only exception (which can be a bonus), is you can get Chase to report at anytime of the month by simply paying your balance down to zero. They will report then report the $0 balance immediately to the bureaus. 

 

2) Synchrony/Amazon Store - Synchrony generally speaking will report on the statement closing date. But there are times when they randomly report. I'm not sure if it's a software issue.

I can't find where amazon store card gives the option to change the due date.

It's not a software issue. Most likely Synchrony warning lenders. They like to report large purchases.

Re: Changing the Due Date on Cards

Your statement date is almost certain to change along with the due date. That's because the law states that there must be at least 21 days because the statement and the due date. If you're dealing with the usual situation, i.e. a bank that reports the statement balance on or soon after the statement date, I'd expect the report date to change accordingly.

 

Banks that do something else, like US Bank reporting on the last business day of the month, will continue reporting as they had before.
