I tried different balances while monitoring my FICO score


Can't you only do this with 0%APR credit cards? Otherwise you'd be paying interest? Or am I reading that wrong?

Provided the balance is all due to spending from the previous month, you aren't paying any interest at all unless you got a cash advance.

At the time I just had 3 low limit cards so the interest was minimal. I was just trying to get my score as high as I could before I closed on the house.
