Not for me. When they auto CLI, I had to wait for the statement date for them to report the CLI.

I have seen synch report multiple times in a month, if you make a payment expect them to report it.

In future as things link up we may see more "real time" reporting of balances.

I guess I won't pay after the statement balance date then. It defeats my purpose to show some utilization. It's not important, but I like to show at least 1% utilization; I never carry a balance.

The same thing happened to me this month with my Banana Republic card. It usually updates on the 11th of the month but instead they updated on Oct. 1 reporting a balance of $116 then again on Oct. 4 with a $95 balance. The due date is on the 4th of the month and the statement closes on the 11th so I was disappointed as I try to limit the number of cards that report a balance. It ended up not being a big deal but initially I was upset feeling that I couldn't trust them to report per usual. A couple of days ago I noticed that they gave me a credit limit increase of $1800 so I assume this is what caused the funky reporting. They also updated over the weekend to reflect my $0 balance. So that's three times in one month.
