To charge or not to charge

[doc101]

Have recently paid both my credit cards balances in full. One is due on 5/3/13 and the other on 5/5/13. I have read here that it is helpful to carry a small balance before or on the statement date that will help raise score. So my question is ......should I charge a small amount on one card before the due date, or just keep things as they are?

Are you planning to app for new credit in the next 30 days? If not - then there's no need to specifically make a purchase. Unless you just feel like experimenting to see what the results might do to your scores.

Not planning to app for anything for awhile
