Credit Union reporting one account but not another to CRAs?

Recently I opened a new account with Navy Federal. First thing I did was apply for and receive a rewards Visa. I used it to consolidate the small balances from my 3 subprime rebuilder cards and also began using it for daily expenses. My first payment is due on 6/24

Then a couple weeks later, I applied for and received an auto refinance loan. this past Friday I received the payoff check and my first payment isn't due until 7/24.

Neither has triggered an alert on SW yet, but TC already has the auto loan trade line. Should I be worried that the Visa is not reporting? I'm really excited to have it's available balance factored into my util%.

Also, how long should I expect before the old, now paid off auto loan shows a 0 balance? I would like to get another loan, but it looks like I owe twice as much as I do since the loan balance is showing under both accounts currently.

For the latter part of the question give it 30-45 days to report.

For the CC, that could be at any time. It varies from company to company on when it will report. I had Lowe's report within three days of me opening the account. PenFed hasn't reported anything yet, even though I have used the card and am driving the car. My guess is give it 30 days or so to report as well.

Chances are, your CC will report on its statement date. That's how it worked on mine.
