Appreciation post: The bank teller who told me to stop paying my card off twice a month
I was at my local branch in Tacoma last month, complaining about my score being stuck at 680. She looked at my account and said, 'You're paying it down before the statement even cuts, so it looks like you never use it.' I started letting a small balance report, and it jumped 40 points. Anyone else get this advice from an unexpected place?

Wait, that's a real thing? I thought paying it off early was always the best move.

Yeah, I learned that the hard way too. My credit score took a hit for being too eager.
