I just got an email letting me know that I had new alertas on my repot. I logged in to check and my TU score is at 705. I know it is only temporary and it will go back down in about a month, but it is still nice. We went on our family vacation a few weeks ago and before we went, I used all the vacation money to pay off my cards. The reports hit right after I paid them, but then we actually went on our vacation and my balances went back up. At least I will have it for a month or so. 
Starting Score: 580
Congrats, bcdudley!!!!
And, hey... now you've got excellent motivation to pay those balance back off, ASAP! You've got a taste of the not-too-distant future! You know how we're all always asking, "I wonder what my score would actually be IF....?" You now have an answer!
