How does a credit balance affect AZEO?

I immediately have my points transferred to my cards usually after I pay my card. I end up with a couple of dollars on my credit card in my favor. If all cards are PIF how would one credit balance be counted?

Re: How does a credit balance affect AZEO?

In my experience, a credit balance is the same as a zero balance for AZEO calculations.

^ This!  I've been there a few times over the last four years, and each time my FICO scores take a 15-20 point whack.

I categorically refuse to do AZEO!
