FYI - Credit Cards report to the credit bureaus the day your statement is cut, not the day the payment is due. So you want to pay down your credit card balance before you even get the statement. The act of doing this will not inherently increase your credit score unless your credit card balances are higher than 10% utilization the previous month. The ideal utilization ratio is 3-7% if you're shooting for an 800 score.
