DM2 just had success at getting a mid-cycle report out of AMEX.

This was very helpful.  Both Discover AND Amex were happy do do off cycle reports.  Took about 3 days to post with all 3 Credit Bureaus.

Barclay Card Apple Rewards was a complete dud -- no help whatsoever.  Wouldn't even let me speak to their credit dept.

Trying Paypal now.  Will update.



Thank you. Updated.

Re: Credit Cards that Update with Zero Balance Mid-Cycle

Have we seen any datapoints on Citi or Bank of America?  6 of my 12 cards are with one of these two issuers.  Since I may be doing a mortgage in late summer or fall, I'd love to know if anyone has experience with these two.

 

I am guessing that a lot of other people might want to know about it too, since these are big issuers.

Chase does it,  just pay down to 0... happens every month I use my freedom card and pay it off.

I'm actually looking for data points regarding Citi ... has anyone had experience with Citi doing a mid-cycle balance update?

I've never known Lowe''s, Walmart, or the Amazon store card to update mid-cycle unless the balance was paid off. And between me, hubby, and my mom we have 3 Lowe's, 3 Walmart, and 2 Amazon cards.

I can't speak to Lowe's ... but neither my Walmart nor my Amazon have ever updated mid-cycle.

Bank of the West reports at (End of month / 1st of new month), Statement is same as reporting.

 

US Bank reports at (End of month / 1st of new month), Ignoring the statement balance reported.

Just wanted to add for information purposes:

 

Chase will update your balance mid-cycle anytime you request it, as long as it is different than what appears on your report.

Re: Credit Cards that Update with Zero Balance Mid-Cycle

Comenity:

  • Williams-Sonoma - Flat out refused. I told them that Comenity had done it for Wayfair customers, that didn't seem to make a difference. Made a slight change to my address, no change 4 days later.
  • Crate & Barrel - Also said no, floated the Wayfair experience, still flat out refused. Updated my address, but doesn't seem to have had any effect. 

-- I'd be curious to speak with the person who had success with Wayfair how they did it.

 

American Express:

  • BCE - Obliged and showed up on Experian 1 day later.

Bank of America:

  • 1-2-3 Cash Rewards - Again, a flat no. The rep said that they are only allowed to update midcycle if there is something inaccurate, or the balance that was reported contained charges that are in dispute.

Target:

  • RedCard - First rep I spoke to said no, it would update on the 15th. Called the other number (the 'general credit questions' one); rp said that I had an update for the day I called, but the wording was super unclear. It's not my statement date (which will be 6/14), but I did change my address the night before to try to trigger one. However, no update seems to have happened 4 days later.

I have to update this a bit, apparently it doesn't work with some or all Chase Co-Branded call, I recently paid of a large balance on my Chase Southwest card, no mid-cycle update. so more data points are needed for chase co-branded cards. But it absolutely does update for Freedom and CSP
