Flipping Experian....
The only baddy I have will take at least 3 more years to fall off. Nothing else changed. This really makes me angry.
So... all this time we all thought LOWER utilization gave you a HIGHER score..... when in reality, HIGHER utilization gives you a HIGHER score.
So.
90% total utilization here I come, in hopes of that glorious 850!!!
Lol.

Falsehoods!!
I think something is going on with EX. Before I started the payoffs, and working towards one card at <9%, I got an alert from both EX and EQ yesterday over a barely over minimum payment in Feb on my Amazon, that is over 50% utilization on that card, still is! My EX shot up 13 pts, and EQ 3pts. This compared to my first full payoff on 1 of 2 CCs that hit back on 3/1 of 14 pts. The second CC has yet to report. I was beginning to wonder if EX wants me to keep open and just pay. I already threw another $100 at AMAZON, and will see what alert points I get from that next month's statement cut report to the bureaus.

One of two things here. One, there's a problem with Experian. What happened to your TU and EQ scores? Unless they moved a similar amount, it's clearly an EX issue.
If all 3B scores moved around the same amount, it means something significant changed with your credit report such as a negative item coming off.
An increase in utilization wouldn't result in a 44 point gain.
Something is definetaly going on. Yesterday Lowes reported a puchased I did this past Saturday (bastards!) and maxed the card 90%, and my credit score went up about 10-12 point on EXP, TU, EQ, and yes I was carrying a $36 balance on another card with $4000 limit
