You should pay before the due date.  Dangerous to leave things to the last minute, and in many cases the due date keeps changing.

 

 


For those of us who still believe in auto-pay, setting it up to pay full statement balance on due date works fine.   The bank takes care of any shift in due date!

Every time someone mentions AZEO, baby penguin dies a horrible death.

In truth you don't have to know or track either if you just

pay current balance 2 times a month (~15 days apart)

5th & 20th or 1st & 15th, or 15th & 30th

Good advice if one doesn't care about balances being reported.

I guess I'm killing penguins for a while.  I'll eventually stop AZEO once I solidly have good scores, but right now I feel like the benefit outweghs it being a bit of a PITA.
