EQ: make sure it reports as other open account; if it reports like this it will not not count in util calculations3.) TU: the current scoring model includes no limit charge cards in util, no matter what you doMy advice to you is pay off your green card before your statement cuts, so Amex will report a $0 balance or a very small balance and this will help your TU score.

Just FYI, I followed fused's advice below:
I made sure that five days before the cut-off date my balance is $0 and when the statement was closed yesterday, the balance was $23. When I pulled out my reports from TC, AMEX reported to all three CRAs the balance as $1537.
