Dunno if Chase hates me or what. lol
Also, I can pay Cap 1 over and over each week and it's STILL not instant.
I have chase...As long as you pay the card through the website or in the branch with cash or chase check, then it should update the available balance. Do not go through bill pay since it goes through a different system in chase and delays delivery time. It has always worked for my.

Really? My Chase credit is reflected immediately upon sending a payment. It could be that I bank with them so that might be a factor.
I misread the OP's original question, but for me, when I pay my bill on the Chase website, takes 1 day for the credit to be applied, and then another day or two after that for the money to be taken out of my bank account (I bank with Wells Fargo, which was the part where my input didn't contribute anything to OP's question except for Amex and Wells Fargo cards).
SeaFirst does, oh wait they don't exist anymore.
I used to have a secured card from them and once I was at a restaurant and my card was maxed out. ($300 limit, so not that hard to do.) I picked up the phone and it took a minute or two to do it and then handed the card back to the bartender. He just looked at me strange and said that that was the same card that I had just given him and it had already been declined. I asked him to try it anyway and he said OK, as if he knew it wouldn't be approved but didn't want to go into that. He was a bit surprised and asked what I did, since he knew I didn't talk to anyone on the phone. So I told him that I simply transferred money to the card with phone banking.
When BofA converted all the cards to their center in AZ, that function was lost, much to my dismay. It still took me another year and half after that to close the account. Back then it didn't seem to matter how much I used the card and paid it off, they would never unsecure the thing, even though it was possible. I was interesting because at the time if you paid in a branch, then the money was available right away. (Unless they lost the money, oh what a joy those two lost payments were to get resolved.)
Chase and Amex...
I have a checking account with chase and when I make a payment to my cc it is immediate because it is just transferring funds from one account to another.
Amex I usually make a payment nd my available credit is immediately available but the actual payment takes a day or two to actually post to the account.
I paid my NFCU Visa from my NFCU checking on Fri, didn't credit till Tue.... Somewhat frustrating.

Update: just did a payment on Chase with my chase checking and it was instant! So awesome. Didn't realize that before! Thanks for everyone telling me they did. ![]()
