How do they work? How much money do you need to use them ( bills )? I will be using it mostly on pay later options, and I DO plan on paying it off.

I don’t know if I should pay off my whole balance or just pay little by little. If I pay it off immediately will my credit score go up dramatically? Or does it not even matter? Thanks in advance!

Would it improve or hurt my credit score to close the three with zero balances?
I do have three paid in full they are zero balances- so I should keep them open- even at zero?

We just recently checked his report). Will this late payment effect his score, or does it usually have to be a certain number of days late before they report it to the credit beuraus?
