Utlization with 4 credit cards

So I have 4 credit cards two are mine and two I am an AU on.  Do I need to worry about the accounts I am an AU on?  Currently our account balances are:

Mine:
Cap One $0 ($400 limit, Auto CLI this month Smiley Happy Due the 6th

Chase Slate $0 - 0% interest rate until December ($500 Limit, Auto CLI this month Smiley Happy Due the 16th

 

AU: (These are my wifes)

Chase Freedom $71.92 ($5,300.00 limit) Due the 1st
Chase Slate $950.02 - 0% interest rate until December ($3,300 limit) Due the 24th

 

I have read that we need to find out the cut date so I can figure out when to get it down to 9% then pay it off a few days after so I do not get any APR charges.  I really want to get my CS up so we can get a house in the next few years.  She has 0 baddies and I have two medical which I plan on writing some GWs this week.  Can I kindly get some help or direction.  Thanks.

Re: Utlization with 4 credit cards

Look at your previous statements and see when the statements dates are, thats a good rule of thumb, the other is approx 3-6days after the due date. I have cap 1, due 24th, statement cuts 27th. ( shows next months due date and amount due). Mine range from 3-6days after the due date an approx 30 days from the last statement date on previous statements.

Re: Utlization with 4 credit cards

So should I be concerned with all 4 credit cards or just the two that are actually mine?

Re: Utlization with 4 credit cards

I meant to add, do I pay it down to 9% on the due date then pay it off before before it gets cut?
