UPDATE...
I'm in the home stretch now with 3 TLs (well, really 2, because one is Macys with no CL listed) left to update. For the past many days I have updated the first post showing the changes to util in relation to changes to score. The three remaining cards are CapOne 822/1000 and that should update starting on Tuesday, 1460/1500 for Juniper and that should update starting the 4th. Finally Macys has a $600 balance and that should update on the 5th, but isn't factored into util. As of today, my util is less than 1% once everything reports with balances only on Amex and $25 on Discover.
As you can see, the scores went up by a fair amount. Despite TU dropping 75% to date, the increase was a lot less than I thought it would at 65 points. Now I'm not complaining any, but I thought the change would be more. Conversely, EQ went above and beyond. 111 points for 72% less in util is a lot more than I thought it would be.
I'll post a final update later this week.
Any update, Ilecs? I can't stand the suspense.
"Alas"? Heck, any time EQ updates anything at all is an occasion for celebration! 
Grats on the lovely 774, and enjoy your vacation.

Isn't this costing you a lot of money checking your scores so often? Although if my score was going up so fast I would be checking it too! Congrats!
The key to charging these FICO reports is to take your CC bill and toss it. They way you'll never know the damage. 
Joking aside, I pay the same price as everyone else. I spend $10.95/EQ report (discount due to being a SW subscriber) and pay $11 and change for TU after using a discount code (google is a great source. So is Twitter (hint)).
Plus, this will never happen again. I pray my util will never hit 80%+ again. Plus, I'll know cause and relationship per points because I already have a baseline to draw from.
