I forgot to use my CC in Feb

I just checked online and my charge must have come too  that it skipped a Feb payment date and it says my next payment isnt due until March.  If I made a payment on the card would it still look like I made a payment on Feb? 

I was waiting for my payment for Janurary to clear before putting more money on the card, (so that my utilization stayed low).  Apparently this has bit me in the rear.

Well if you had a $0 balance and you did not charge anything no worries

Now if you had a payment due and missed it, more than likely its not 30 day late yet

No I didnt forget to make a payment.  

I just want to make sure I make sure to make all payments I can every month because I am desperate to a longer credit history.   I'll just go ahead with that $5.50 payment for Feb, lol.    

Im just so used to saving, its hard to spend money now.

I don't quite understand what you are trying to say but you don't have to use a card every single month to show activity. Every 2-3 months is probably sufficient. Your credit length history will continue even if you don't use the card for a month or 2.

Does that answer your question or am I way off base here?
