The next logical question is, when your credit card issuer sends the information to a credit bureau, when does it appear on your credit report? Generally, you can count on your information to be added to your credit report as soon as the bureau receives it. Your credit scores are calculated based on the data in your report every time a creditor requests them. That might not be the case with late payments. Whenever a delinquency appears on your credit file, it can significantly hurt your credit.
The longer the debt goes unpaid, the more damage it can do to your scores. See related: How long does a late payment stay on your credit report?
However, when you check your credit, you see that the issuer has reported the high balance you had had before you made the payment. As a result, your credit score has shed quite a few points.
This is why understanding when the information on your credit card usage shows up on your credit report is important. This ratio is expressed in a percentage and considered the second most influential factor in credit scoring after payment history. Ideally, you want to keep the ratio in the single digits. On the other hand, if your credit issuer has reported that you paid down a large part of your debt, you may see immediate positive results.
If your credit score is close to a FICO score threshold, even a small negative change can push you into a higher credit risk profile, which could increase your interest rates or even hurt your approval chances. Your credit card issuer may report your credit card activity to the credit bureaus at the end of the billing cycle — or on a different date entirely.
It may report to every bureau at the same time or have a different schedule for each of them.

When will my AmEx report to the bureaus?!?! Frequent Contributor. Hey all! I applied and was approved for it on March 26th.
My second statement cut on May 25th. Just wondering if this is normal this is my first AmEx or if I should call AmEx and tell them they aren't reporting? Thanks in advance for all the input! Message 1 of All forum topics Previous Topic Next Topic. Re: When will my AmEx report to the bureaus?!?! Message 2 of Loquat, thanks for the response!
I hope it reports soon not like I need it to, I just want it to. On a side note, do you know how long it'll take my girlfriends Capital One Venture to report to the bureaus for me as well? I'm an AU. Maybe I'm just being too antsy and need to wait for the statement to cut Message 3 of Also, Does anyone know if I apply for another card during this limbo time between AmEx approval and AmEx reporting to the bureaus , will the cc issuer see the HP from AmEx, but not see the card reporting and think that AmEx denied me?
In other words, if you have an American Express credit card, does it affect your credit score in any way? Low balance, high balance, pay on time, pay late, does it matter? In a word, yes. American Express does indeed report to the three credit bureaus Expieran, Equifax, and TransUnion , and if you do not make your payments on time, or exceed your limit, it will definitely affect your credit score. Let me explain.
