No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
I have several credit cards. Lowest credit limit $200.00 to highest credit limit $7,500.00 and an Overdraft Line of Credit from NFCU for $15,000.00 (not reportting yet).
All credit cards have a zero balance. All are reporting zero balance, except for a $2,500.00 that is reporting a $784.00 balance (but it has been pdif).
I also have a mortgage and a car loan. Current, no lates.
Which credit card should I have the 10% reporting on? If it reports on the one with the $7,500.00 CL does it affect my score more negative than if it reports on the one with $2,500.00 CL (since the balance would be higher on the $7,500.00)?
You might need to experiment to see what works the best.
It's not clear that the utilization rules are identical for every situation.
This. 10% on a higher CL card will mean higher overall utilization but whether that has a significant impact is, again, something you'd have to test.
