Make sure that you stay below 30% of the credit limit if you want to have a decent credit score. There is a scoring module that Credit Reporting Agencies go by that we as the consumers don't know about. I will tell from experience that your score could decrease anywhere from 10 - 20 points from each bureau that your account is being reported with.
