scores based on fico8

am i still too assume that 1 card with <10%util while the others at zero is still the way to go with cards used on a rotation basis ?

i thought the.scoring model had changed to reflect a broader overall credit usage?
so if i have 4.cc in the model above
2.student loan paid as agreed
1 auto loan paid as agreed
is that the maximum return for fico scoring or should i pay a little more. each month than my regular money auto or student loan payments to help?

No. DW at some point had a score of 850 with four cards reporting balances.

It seems from feedback from members that this approach works well for many of them but it's not a one size fits all situation.

 

Try different scenarios over several months and see what helps you the most.
