💳 Paying your credit card on time is NOT enough to build a top-tier credit score. 🤯
The biggest misconception about credit isn’t about *how much* you pay, but WHEN you pay. You must master these two critical dates:
📍 Due Date:Protects you from late fees and interest, but doesn’t control the snapshot reported to credit bureaus.
📍 Statement / Closing Date: The exact day your bank reports your credit utilization ratio to the bureaus.
Paying down your balance BEFORE the statement closing date (leaving around 4% utilization) forces the bank to report a low balance, rapidly boosting your score.
Paying only the minimum or spending heavily right before the statement closing date keeps your reported debt high and traps you in interest.
