Anything over 750ish is a great score. There's no real reason to be pursuing that holy grail of the 850 credit score.


Oh I know.

I'm trying to build from high 600s. I did some stupid spending when I lived in California. Just trying to build smart and fast now that I live somewhere dirt cheap and have enough to pay statements pretty easily.

I have three cards, two are $2000 and one is $1500. Should I work between the three at 30% and then payoff each statement month or what?

I just read timing is sometimes key, just a little bit unclear on when to spend/pay etc.

Balances are point in time (at the time the bureau is pulled) only. Historical balances are not on the bureau. It makes absolutely no difference.

As an analyst, I pulled credit reports every week. I am very familiar with how they work.
