My buddy swore paying a $50 credit card bill early would boost my score, but my report didn't move.

He said it would show lower usage right before the statement date. I tried it for three cycles on my Capital One card and my FICO stayed flat. Anyone know why this advice flops sometimes?

Honestly, that "boost my score" obsession is a bit much.

Wait, you paid it how early?

My buddy paid his off three months early.
