No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
I accidentally let one of my CC report with a utilzation that exceeds the 48.9% threshold. To be exact, it reported with a utilization of 49.2%. It has been under the 48.9% for awhile. However, while this threshold was exceeded, my credit scores were unaffected. For background, I have like 6-8 CCs, but only two have balances -- this card and another card that's below the 28.9% threshold.

There has been more accurate thresholds reported, 9.5%, 29.5%, 49.5%, etc.
I believe the old ones where stated to ensure utilization report would be under threshold if interest fees were added.
I would recommend reading the below from Birdman7

The threshold is really 50%. We talk about lower numbers to avoid rounding up.
Looks like you were 1% below the threshold (49% verses 50%) thus no score shift.
