Hi,
Does anyone know when each month (15th of the month, 30th?) your revolving available credit on a credit card is reported to be used in recalculating your credit score for the next month? Is it the same date for every credit card provider or different? Thanks in advance.
And just to add to the converation, there are some lenders that specifically report on a particular date that may or may not be your statement date. US Bank comes to mind, as my balance is always reported on the last day of the month. The exceptions are rare, though, and almost all lenders will report the balance on your statement date. Another exception is that any time you pay a Chase account to $0 (including any new charges since your last statement) it will be reported as $0 every time.

To add to above confusion
Your real Fico credit scores change every day.
Most places pull your score and only update it every so often, you are looking at history. (read the score pull date)

1. It's usually the statement balance that is reported.
@2. As @K-in-Boston correctly points out, there are scattered exceptions.

AZEO is completely unnecessary unless there is an important app coming up.
Keep aggregate utilization below 8.9%, individual below 28.9% , pay by due date and you'll be golden.

I think it's probably more correct to say that your real FICO score changes every time a change is reported to the CRA or a time milestone is passed (AAoA, etc.). It doesn't change just because.
