How often do credit cards update balances at Credit Bureaus?

[jumpinjoe]

Has anyone observed how often Credit cards (Cap 1, Barclay, etc.) update balances at the credit bureaus?

Weekly, Monthly, or at monthly statement close?

Do cards update all bureaus on the same dates?

within 24 hours if you pay hundreds for a rapid rescore not recommended unless trying to buy a house and screwed up on paying off balances at last minute

Some CC companies will mid-cycle report. I've seen reports of Barclays, Discover and Cap1 (Cap1 is unique because the poster stated that they missed a timely payment).

All in all, if you are worried about who reports what, post what cards you have and we can try to help.
