Generally, paying by credit card does not impact your other credit cards UNLESS you are attempting to get a credit line increase on one of those other credit cards.

When you use your credit card, depending on the timing of credit bureau reporting, your credit score may be negatively impacted if you have a balance (whether paid off in full each month or not) that is equal or greater than 30% of the card's credit line.

In this case, the score may have been impacted enough where the other credit card company may not grant a credit limit increase.

How will transferring 95 of credit balance to a lower interest card affect your credit rating?

It won't affect your credit rating. But it is the smart thing to do because you will end up paying less interest each month. Credit score looks at (among other things) what percentage of your credit limit you are using. So if you have 3 cards each with a limit of $10,000, that's $30,000 maximum limit. If you have a total balance of $15,000 between the three cards, that means you are using 50% of your maximum. Lenders like to see you at 35% or less of your maximum.
