I've read that if I pay my Chase CC to zero they will automatically update to the bureaus. But is there a certain time I should leave the account at zero balance to ensure they update before I can use it again? Thanks

Anytime you pay it off, it will update it. Happen to me many times. No particular time as long as payment post you will have it reported.
Yes they do mid-cycle reporting if you PIF, you can leave it clear for 24 hours and it should be enough, and most things don't post imediately and pending charges aren't reflected in your reported balance.

Really?!?! Lemme head over and pay my bill right now! You guys are a wealth of information for a bad credit recoverer!
Great thing to know. Thanks for the heads up, y'all.

So if you zero the balance, charge something and zero it again within the same billing cycle, it'll get reported both times?

You are welcome!! I really love that about Chase-
I let a blance report quite a bit with my CSP, then PIF within a few days. It always reports when it gets to $0, and shows the bigger payment amount (rather than several smaller payments like I do on cards that don't automatically mid-cycle update).
Is this for Chase exclusive or all cobranded cards too? Not sure if my IHG card is changing to $0. But then again CK is slow.
