In short, there are 2 main methods to pay your credit card bill. 1. The Simple Method involves waiting to receive your statement and then paying the full New Balance on or before the Due Date. This will help you build credit, avoid interest, and get an on-time payment with ease. 2. The Advanced Method involves 2 payments. First, identify the Closing Date of your billing cycle (often the same day your statement is generated). Second, submit an early Payment (Payment 1) several days BEFORE that Closing Date. The purpose is to bring your current balance down to a level where it represents less than 10% of your credit limit. Third, wait to receive your statement, which will show the lower balance and the Due Date. Finally, submit your second payment (Payment 2) on or before the Due Date. Since your utilization is only reported once per month (often on your Closing Date), this method allows you to ensure a lower balance gets reported (and this helps increase your credit score). In the end, this will help you build credit, avoid interest, get an on-time payment, and increase your credit score faster and to higher levels.
