Got two new cards, how should I use them?

Got two new cards and wanted to know what is the best way to go about using them and paying them Soni can get a good credit line. 

 

Discover Card NHL $1600 - $190 Balance

Capital One BuyPower $750 CL - $0 Balance. 

My Timewarner bill is due of $142 should I put that on the Cap one and pay it off when the bill comes? Also for the discover card shoul I break that into two payments or pay it of when the bill comes as well?

 

Thanks

Art,

Who's Soni? Why are you speaking in third person?

Put the TW bill on CapOne and pay in full. The $190, PIF as well. Let a small balance report on either card for maximum effect on CR but PIF for maximum CLI potential.

Art,


Only have one card reporting 1%-9% to the credit bureaus to maximize FICO.  For the other cards, you as you would but just pay before statement cuts and you will be fine.
