<prompt> Human: I am trying to build credit, and recently got a credit card. Limit is 500, to start with. I plan to make a few purchases per month, maybe about 300 worth, and pay off the balance in full each month. My payment due date is the 17th of each month. What is the best date to pay my bill? Will i not reap the full benefit as far as building credit if I pay down the balance to 0 more than one time per pay cycle? Thanks.  <response>: It doesnt matter, as long as you pay before the due date
