No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
so my USAA credit card cycle ended 3 Nov and they reported a $16 balance and then I made a couple of purchases that totaled about $850, I always pay off the balance monthly anyway but then I notiiced two purchases attempt at Amazon and reported the card stolen to USAA, they in turn sent a new card but reported a second time to the credit bureaus this month only since Wednesday and my utlilization went up from 0% to 6%
didn't get a chance to call today but i will tomorrow but is that normally what lenders do, report twice to the credit bureaus when a card is stolen???

Often.
i paid the whole balance off, I suppose they wouldn't consider re- re-reporting a $0 balance

I doubt it.
Same exact thing happened to me this month with Capital One. It seems a chargeback prompts a balance update no matter the time of month. My score dropped 20 points because of it.
this is kind of confusing, the negative impacts were released to my fiiles within a day or two of the event but at statement closing date of 31 October on my installments loans with USAA (one installment loan decreased by more than 1k) it hasn't been released to my files as of yet, USAA reports and info is "always" released within a day or two to my files (why the delay now?)
it's like some algorithim is in place that controls your score going up too much at a time

Why would they? You reported your card lost/stolen so they issued a new card which triggered them reporting . Unless you are trying to get a mortgage or something not sure why this is such a concern . Your next statement closing they will report .
it's a concern because I am at a important personal milestone; 2-3 points from a perfect score if that satisfies your concern

No concerns on my part . Well you just might have to wait a little longer .
